RE: Caldera claims "LSB 1.0 implementation" in Project 42 beta announcement
Actually I kind of appreciate this. I do not support this, but now LSB is
in the main stream press and is getting some attention. Instead of
curcifying caldera, we should use this as an opportunity and educate the
general marketplace about LSB. Use this to recruit other ISVs like SAS.
Thanks & Regards
