This is in Spanish but good to know that one of the ESRI’s arguments is that free software slows down standards … why? because anyone can change the code, weird at least.

Reply-To: Users and Developers mailing list <gvsig_internacional@runas.cap.gva.es>Hi,
This Thursday a roundtable about free software was held in the National Geographic Institute of Spain. First “round” on that discussion have been uploaded to Youtube. Well, they are obviously in Spanish, but maybe some of you could find them interesting.
Just a excerpt: the ESRI representative has said that Free Software slows down the adoption of standards (WTF?)
