I don't get your comment. You mean mission critical systems should not use open source software?. Google runs on free software, what's wrong with using free software?


He's quoting the article.

But the person he's quoting, like you, confuses Open Source software / Free Software with freeware, which is generally considered to be unlicensed or public domain software.

These people are not dumb.


I didn't say he wasn't deliberately confusing OSS / Free software with freeware.


I bet she is. It's kind of sad when people have to resort to disinformation to sell their stuff.
