kmizu āThe point of OSS is dumpingā was something my boss at my part-time job said when other IDEs died out with the advent of Eclipse, and I resented it at the time. I was repulsed at the time, but nowadays I think itās still dumping economically. (This ādumpingā has its positive side, but I think it also had a significant negative side.)

(1980ās) A pioneer of integrated development environments that combined an editor, compiler, debugger, profiler, etc., which are common today, and combined with its unparalleled compilation speed, it made a huge impact on program developers at the time.

JBuilder, which had been the mainstay of the company, declined due to the spread of Eclipse, an integrated development environment released free of charge by IBM, and its restructuring.

imunolion Do you mean to say that there is an aspect of commissionware-like economic design that is modifiable that has been thwarted? I think there is a great deal to be said for the primitive economic design (no boundaries common property economy) and the religious (reciprocal relationship of free service and unconditional respect by the able-bodied), which excessively excluded any other options.

kmizu Yes, ā¦ OSS has a religious aspect, and in its early days, many people still understood the philosophical aspects of OSS other than its license. However, now that the number of ābelievers in OSSā is overwhelmingly small, the primitive economic design supported by this belief is also getting old. I donāt think that the current younger generation (late 20ās) in particular is aware of the OSS story that OSS is free as a license, but in principle does not allow free ride (e.g. on train) and requires some kind of contribution to the community. I donāt think Iāve ever heard of it.
kmizu This area is probably closer to free software than to OSS, but the delicate distance between the free software movement and OSS is too complicated for an outsider to discuss. I think it would be too complicated for an outsider to say much about the delicate distance between the free software movement and OSS.
