Re: [ossig] Financial Times: Why Open Source is Unsustainable

[Poh Yang Ming <pohyg@xxxxxxxxx>]

something just cross my mind.

suppose 20 years from now, patent for the hardware got
expired, manufacturers can literally make and sell
generic processors/generic computers/generic printers,
and a generic OS... which still can be program to do
something useful with open standard.

What will happen? or it will not happened as the
standard evolved out of what we known today? 

woah! hmmm.. and some of us still punching
calculators.

hope u guys can share a thought.
