Re: #DefendGNOME
What I found interesting is this:
As noted earlier, a Groupon spokesperson told Ars that the company is willing to compromise. “Groupon is a strong and consistent supporter of the open source community,
and our developers are active contributors to a number of open source projects,” Groupon said. “We’ve been communicating with the Foundation for months to try to come to a mutually satisfactory resolution, including alternative branding options, and we’re happy to continue those conversations. Our relationship with the open source community is more important to us than a product name. And if we can't come up with a mutually acceptable solution, we'll be glad to look for another name.”
If their developers support open source so heavily how come discussion with them didn't bring GNOME to the forefront and they still decided to go for it. Especially when GNOME is one of the most popular open source project of al time.
You came empty handed, that is how you shall leave. Whatever you claim as yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, will be someone else's tomorrow.
