  discuss what? how it is good to develop in an open-source framework, or how it is bad because there is less "support" and less "stable" production releases of software?

  how about that people think open-source means "free for the taking" when really it doesn't.

  there are countless pros and cons to this topic....narrow it down a tid-bit and you'll have a better discussion.

  I think there's a purpose for it, but also believe that programmers need to be compensated for their time. Open source can help create ideas and inspire but I don't think it's functional in many corporate or business elements.

  Open source is great. It addresses actual needs in the market without the subversion of trying to achieve market dominance by suppressing and altering practical technologies. It's a brilliant idea.

  I cant help but feel sorry for the old ladies stuck at home on their own, all they want is some Daddies or HP on their chips or their shepherds pie but they cant because the lid is so tight that they cant open the sauce.

  its a bloody shame.

  you can develop in an open-source model and still get paid. i do.

  open-source software can cost money. open-source and the gpl require you to include source with your distro...it doesn't say it has to be free.

  you are giving someone the right to tinker with your code...and they do so at their own risk. the only restriction is they make available the modifications to the code they made, so someone else can find them useful.

  i'm not grazy about the gpl... though i can see where it does serve a purpose.

  all of my code that i open source will be free with no obligations whatsoever... meaning you don't have to give me any credit, even if you make a profit.

  what really blows me away is people that try to copyright their javascript code... i just can't help but laugh...

  there's an option to view source for a reason...

  SCO : 4 words : Show me the code.

  To date SCO is suing everyone and anyone with Linux, but to date has not shown one scrap, one byte, one piece of code they claim is illegal. Suck on it SCO.

  If your not on Linux this makes no sense to you, but then again, a one button mouse is silly to me. :) Long live the fighters.

  good point, anders!

  can someone explain me the difference in creating imagery and coding a piece of work, perhaps art?

  I often feel coders are made inferior to visual designers.

  well, we are in the age of visual sampling, giving new meaning to graphics and photographs, recontextualizing them, if i word it well.

  graphics do not seem to be so much in the open-source spotlight as software/code.

  What greater purpose would art have it were open-source? How does it being free-use help it communicate better?

  because graphic artists usually don't provide the original material with their completed works.

  if you use a photo for something, but the finished work doesn't resemble that photo anymore, do you give the photo to the client to re-use and alter as they see fit?

  graphic designers/artists don't take kindly to people 're-working' their vision to suite their own needs.

  i could care less if someone takes an application i write and changes something to make it work for their needs. would you let a client change the color scheme or the typography of a design?

  i doubt it.

  that is like comparing apples to potatos at that point.
