Open source software is the root of all these evil. The software alternative to proprietary software is causing turmoil among software companies for the last five months. Now, the war already reach several countries that it has fanned a raging flame of software battle between the European and North American continent.
According to the article, Open Source Business Conference organizers plead on software developers in Europe not to relocate over the United State. The call was made to reinstate the ownership of the said software in Europe. Personally, I don't think that the unclosed software started in Europe. Because Linux and Red Hat started in the very streets of New York. If the Europeans have a valid proof of their claim about the ownership of the software, show it.
Actually, I don't a damn about who owns it and where it came from. The important thing here is how are we going to develop the software into new heights so that it can reach the masses who cannot afford to use a competitive operating system. Linux is the number alternative
operating system today. It has been used by so many companies from different industries including the movie industry to be specific. If you Europe doesn't want to share their expertise with the U.S, fine!
