You want to lead an assault on companies that develop OSS because they don't follow your dictats on how to work?

That sounds like a brilliant idea, I'm sure it'll be amazing show of force for all the top kernel contributors as well.

No, just lead an assault on companies that abuse their market position to kneecap any possibility of OSS being deployed meaningfully.

This actually is a brilliant idea.

    Which companies are that? The market leader of US phone market is running a closed, proprietary golden-cage OS which will increase it's share if your harebrained scheme is implemented.

      You think that Google throwing its weight around to prevent competition to even exist (however small it may be) is fine because otherwise Apple may gain share and yet you have the boldness to call anything harebrained.

      This is rich even for the very low standards of HN.

      Moronic take of the day. Quite a feat.
