tlug: Quote of the Day



This is a clip from an article about the Netscape source release that was on

independent software for Netscape's browser will make
it hard to control quality, said Craig Beilinson, product
manager for Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

for it doesn't seem to have hurt Linux very much :-)  Moreover, I would say
that Netscape has been more dangerous to its own quality than (Keep that gun
aimed squarely at your foot at all times!) than free software development
could ever be :-)

Microsoft had more strong words to say about it.  Read the whole story at:
