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:

    Good criticism is very rare and always precious.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)

    I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
