Cornelius Sybrandy, the software engineer of Concurrent Technologies said that the copyright will fight innovation, "this thinks this is a very serious Question. "Talking about Microsoft, Tiemann said that Microsoft's security issues have become increasingly prominent, indicating that its shared source code plan is failed. Microsoft did not actively promote open source community users to help improve their product security. "You can only see, but can't modify it." At the same time, he also praised the software authorization activity. He pointed out that software authorization has promoted the development of open source activities. During the General Assembly, Mysql's founders David Axmark and Monty Widenius also talked about the progress made by the open source database.
