Gregory's Server@nixCraft if I ask IBM a Blade server (did they do them anymore?) and they ask me to pay, is that a thinly velated extortion?

@lcruggeri @nixCraft If you're a huge corp and you go to IBM and say "our customer base is growing too fast for us to handle, when are you going to give us new servers for free", then you're an asshole. Doubly so if at the same time you're also locking up other people's FOSS code under the guise of ensuring you get paid fairly for your work. |
@nixCraft also the code is MIT licensed, so IBM could had done the work by itself and even didn't have to share the source again
