I was asked a question about my OSS rant in the Smalltalk IRC channel, so I thought I'd clarify. I'm not hostile to open source in general - heck, I've released BottomFeeder as open source, and we ship open source components (GLORP) with Cincom Smalltalk. What I object to are glib "it should all be free" statements by people like Eben Moglen.

Smalltalk has always been "open source" in the sense that all source is available with the product (at least in our case), and in the sense that the Smalltalk level code is all modifiable.
