It just doesn’t make any sense. Why even consider using an open source license if you don’t want people using your source? What a leech.

I suspect he wants the political benefits of running an 'Open Source' project without actually having to open his source code.

Thank you, Ray Horn, for this invaluable piece of literature. Maybe you'd like to try another profession if this one has made you so jaded?

I get it now. He needs open source as the “inspiration” for his own “open source” products.

Why does he even want to open-source his stuff anyway? A simple solution for him would be to forget that open-source is even an option, right?

Do you think his 30 years experience has made him bitter about OS development?

I'd think the less complex it is means less support I'll need to provide.

Does he not provided proper documentation too?

Oh man — been following the posts on this off-and-on today and I believe I’ll remember the name “Ray Horn” for a long time…

I just hope people understand that his views are not shared by those of us actually developing Open Source software and contributing to Open Source in general.

I read that article a couple of times. I kept telling myself it had to be poorly executed satire. But I can’t shake the feeling that he was dead serious.
