IT Conservative

by T. Colin Dodd

IT Conservative

Choice quote:

Of course not. Microsoft is doing exactly what the GPL has been doing — growing like a cancer and silently killing an industry. Except now it’s Microsoft that is going to kill what has become an industry of its own: open source. Microsoft’s tactic is simple: stretch the meaning of the term open source.

Open source is already a stretched term. It started out as Free Software, you know, the brainchild of King Richard. However people found it too political and, frankly, extremist. So they created something more liberal: open source.

King Richard?

“Microsoft is doing exactly what the GPL has been doing — growing like a cancer and silently killing an industry.” ?!?!

Awesome. This is the best satire site I’ve seen. IT Conservative (Free software is for poor people!) is way more funny and informed than Dan Lyons.

Unless it isn’t satire, in which case King Richard has a worthy foe

[Update]:

Someone else smells the humor.
