Yes, yes, and Sendmail took over twenty years. So what? Although every
point you make is valid, none of them offers any reason to believe
closed, proprietary code does or even theoretically could do any
better on any one of these counts. TFA is partial, slanted and biased;
it's also 100% factually correct and even following your admittedly
entirely valid critique it still stands up very well.
I notice you don't address TFA's incontrovertible strong points, like
instant audit of the public record of contributions and contributors
-- no barriers, no permissions to be requested and granted, no egos to
be salved or territorial jurisdictions to be squabbled over, no
ownership rights to be ceded or assigned or NDA'ed. Just the right
questions to be asked of the right people at the earliest possible
opportunity. Why is that?
