OSS_ilation writes "An interview with OSBC director Matt Asay at SearchOpenSource.com gives some insight into where open source software (OSS) has been, is today, and where it hopes to be in the future. A common trend identified by Asay in the interview is that OSS has become very profitable. Asay also touched on the hot-button issue of where the GPL is headed, as well as how open source vendors shouldn't let high download rates give them a big head about the real validity of their projects."

Honestly, publically insulting? In that case we better not use any of their software. I mean, I can't see any executive wanting to use software developed by such angry individuals, what's next, OSS developers throwing chairs at each other?
