I know about that website, and I think their definition is a bit narrow. If I buy a product where the source code is available to me, and the license permits all sorts of tinkering for my own use, then I consider that software open source. I have no idea whether I'm alone with that point of view, but I do understand that the fact that my definition of the concept "open source" is at odds with Yannick's probably play some part in our failure to understand each other. > > |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| > |"Open source simply means that the source for a program is made available to the| > |user. | > | | > |[..]" | > |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| > > It is not that simple. It isn't if you think of opensource.org as the definitive authority on what is and what isn't open source.

Our high salaries are not helping us, that's for sure. Whether or not we're lazy, I don't know. I think my employees put in more or less the same amount of work/effort as they did 20 years ago. > Maybe you could excuse him for not being as good at English as you? > Maybe he was trying to suggest that you have a salary.
