Re: OpenSource vs. LL

notamment ce chapitre apportera un son de cloche un peu différent que ce que l’on a l’habitude d’entendre.

Bof, ça nuance mais ça ne contredit pas. La nuance est bien normale et toute naturelle puisque les mouvements, tels qu'on les connait, ne sont pas apparus d'un claquement de doigts ni du jour au lendemain. Comme le texte est bien écrit, la couleur est annoncée dès le début du chapitre :

The Unix tradition is an implicit culture that has always carried with it more than just a bag of technical tricks. It transmits a set of values about beauty and good design; it has legends and folk heroes. Intertwined with the history of the Unix tradition is another implicit culture that is more difficult to label neatly. It has its own values and legends and folk heroes, partly overlapping with those of the Unix tradition and partly derived from other sources. It has most often been called the "hacker culture", and since 1998 has largely coincided with what the computer trade press calls "the open source movement".

The relationships between the Unix tradition, the hacker culture, and the open-source movement are subtle and complex. They are not simplified by the fact that all three implicit cultures have frequently been expressed in the behaviors of the same human beings. But since 1990 the story of Unix is largely the story of how the open-source hackers changed the rules and seized the initiative from the old-line proprietary Unix vendors. Therefore, the other half of the history behind today's Unix is the history of the hackers.
