Re:An apology to open source by RKoutnik on Tuesday March 19, 2013 @11:17AM (#5401375)
My old job used their "Open software initiative" as a feel-good marketing pitch. Translated, it means "We charge you to install stuff we got for free." All of our clients couldn't tell the difference and their one experience with FOSS is paying money to get a (bad) install.

I don't know what's worse, the abuse of the spirit of FOSS or the bad taste left in our client's mouths.
