How is that obvious? Especially because it's become even more successful after he's mellowed out?
The analogy is that the end result doesn't justify the behaviour from the person in power. It's apt.
Of course it is. A square is also a rectangle but it's still an important distinction.
But did it work because of the style or in spite of it? No reason to believe it wouldn't be even more successful if he had been less abrasive like he is now.
I had three cars and a motorcycle at one point, though now I'm down to one car and a bicycle. But whatever makes you feel superior, I guess. Fuck the people with legitimate ideas to improve life and the environment.
So, do we agree that saying that "if a service is free, you are the product" doesn't apply to FOSS services?
Sure, but that's exactly what people mean when they say FOSS service.
Regardless, that's not the discussion we're having. The point is that those services are free of charge, and you're not the product. And that a big reason for that is that they are FOSS services.
No, Who's the name of the band.
No, they're not mutually exclusive. These services are software.
My point is exactly that. It's not obvious, and as such you can't attribute the success of Linux to his behaviour. Like the OP said, there's no logic in looking at something successful and picking a singular thing to be responsible.
