RedHat claims software copyright kills innovation and accuses Microsoft of false Open Source

On Tuesday, at the MySQL user 2005 Conference, a red hat company high-risk software copyright attack said it would hold back the development of innovation.

Michael tiann, vice president of Redhat's open-Source business, criticized Microsoft's Shared Source plan, which allows users to view The Code but does not allow modifications. "Every time a software is declared copyright, innovation in this market will be killed for at least 20 years ." Cornelius Sybrandy, a software engineer at Concurrent Technologies, said copyright could block innovation. "This is a serious problem ."

Speaking of Microsoft, tiann said that Microsoft's security issues have become increasingly prominent, indicating that its source code sharing plan failed. Microsoft has not actively promoted open-source community users to help improve the security performance of its products. "You can only view it, but cannot modify it ." He also praised software authorization activities. He pointed out that software authorization has promoted the development of open-source activities.

During the conference, the founders of MySQL, David Axmark and Monty Widenius, also talked about the progress made by open-source databases. The open-source databases 5.1 and 5.2 will be released next year. They also praised the MySQL platform, which will be launched in the second half of this year. Axmark refuted the argument that open-source is not conducive to innovation: "I am using open-source products and open-source products have made significant breakthroughs in some products.
