In this particular case, it's helpful to remember that two people can be wrong.



I don't know if DHH is wrong at all in this case.

All he did was write two blog posts, which were rather fair to Matt all things considered:

https://world.hey.com/dhh/automattic-is-doing-open-source-di... https://world.hey.com/dhh/open-source-royalty-and-mad-kings-...

It's also obvious from this post that Matt didn't actually bother to read the blogs closely. Most of the points Matt makes about Ruby on Rails or trademarks in his "response" were already addressed by DHH himself.


While helpful in general, on this topic DHH seems to be right about basically everything. Is there any specific point he makes that you disagree with?
