Re: Évitons la caricature

La comparaison est amusante, surtout mise en perspective par ce judicieux commentaire sur slashdot. Bah, et bien Wozniac, comme tant d'autres, s'est fait arnaquer sur la marchandise :

Among the same lines:

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Apple boss Steve Jobs offered to equip each of the machines with a gratis copy of Mac OS X.
Seymour Papert, a professor emeritus at MIT and one of the project's founders, said the scheme had refused Jobs' offer on the grounds that Mac OS X is a proprietary system.
Papert told the WSJ: "We declined because it's not open source," adding the $100 laptop creators will only choose an operating system where the source code is open and can be altered.


This is what Steve Wozniac had to say a while ago:

I was on a panel with Nicholas in Seoul this year and admired the fact that he'd turned down an offer from Jobs for the Macintosh OS on the OLPC because it wasn't open sourced. I both donated to the program and also bought the give-one get-one and I do have it.
I wonder how he feels about the project now that they are going to use XP...
