Quoting Aram Hăvărneanu <ara...@mgk.ro>:
and the 9front guys have everything in a hg repo
on Google Code
9front exists precisely because the 9front authors considered Plan 9
closed. Using it as an example of openness is the ultimate in
hypocrisy.
Nobody considers plan 9 closed. 9front exists because cinap and aiju and
taruti and everyone were cranking out code faster than was reasonable to
expect geoff could vet and consider. Rather than shitting up his inbox
with code he may or may not even be interested in, taruti dumped it all
onto google code and we got to work.
It's not some kind of idealistic schism; it was just practicality. Stuff
like this is the reason DVCS exists as a concept.
