@nixCraft the sad thing is how moronic corporate management thinking is. Here's a no brainer opportunity for IBM to offer their client a paid contract to fix the issue, and sub contract the floss dev to deliver it. Everybody wins. But of course, that would take >0 effort. There's no vision in any of these industry people anymore.
@nixCraft although, of course what is likely happening is IBM has a multi bazillion dollar software contract that's really a branded stack of MIT licensed libraries, while anybody with enough experience to build it internally has been made redundant, leaving a room full of client relationship managers to deliver in zero time.
