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 hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
