Criticism
In an interview on slashdot open source advocate Bruce Perens criticises Black Duck for pushing stories on the decline of the GPL, saying it isn't a real trend and that the apparent change is due to an increase in the use of web platforms which favour other types of open source licence.
Black Duck responded to Mr. Perens’ statement, clasiming he was misinterpreting the company’s position, saying: “Our data – about the GPL or otherwise – is just that: data. We do not espouse any opinions about the data reported”.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
