Remember the good Alexey Pajitnov, the Russian who made us break the kibble with his great invention, the Tetris?
Well, it seems that behind the face of good type, Alexey this proved to be flower bug.
The thing is more or less like this: I did an interview (one among many). So far, so good. At one point, the interviewer asked "What do you think Movement for Free Software? "Pajitnov replied:" Well I'll tell my opinion on the free software that should never have existed today and should not exist. And I'll tell you why: it destroys the free software market. Where the efforts of groups people will build market opportunities, wealth and prosperity, people get irresponsible and creates alternative developments that plunge companies. And that's not good for the development of technology, free software has no market projection does not create wealth is only a sample of sterile rebellion. " Very hard, right?
The thing did not end there. The entreviststador respectfully Asked about companies like Red Hat or Oracle, who found a business niche distributing its products under free licenses and then selling maintenance. Alexey said: "We again same. I is speaking minority of cases. FOSS belongs to a state mental rebellious teenager and nihilistic something that leads nowhere. It happened to me with Tetris, I made him and as there was no chance of doing anything with the game, handed it to my friends casually. And, after all, limit the possibility of making a business r May.
To top it, Pajitnov was consulted on the ideas of Richard Stallman , a parent of Free Software and the creator of Tetris said: "... Stallman's ideas belong to a bygone era in which I made sense: in the seventies and eighties, and I I participated in that attitude when I was young. Then there was no business opportunity and it seemed logical to share the developments in the university to grow. Today there is a market and we have grown . "
With his statements, Pajitnov not only proved to be a technological elite, driven by its own mercantilist interests, but also has no idea of \u200b\u200bwhat free software is downgraded to category that could encompass such reprehensible activities such as piracy or rape.
should be reminded that Mr. Pajitnov (which has run like a dinosaur rather than a computer guru) that exist thanks to Free Software projects such as Wikipedia where information has been liberalized allowing any user to contribute to enrich human knowledge. Thanks to the Free Software computer program can be improved and optimized in a way that a company could ever imagine, based on the knowledge of thousands of users. And thanks to free software computer has advanced to what has become today.
