Quotes from Rasmus Lerdorf - Money and the World
(Page 2 of 2 )
Money can always be an issue. It seems that this holds true for Rasmus also.
"As for your silly crack about needing a paying product. You obviously don't. You have chosen to use a commercial operating system. You have therefore also chosn to use commercial tools. You are perfectly free to choose any of the many free operating systems which come with all the free development tools you need to build PHP."
"Unlimited budget? Great, for $5,000,0000 we will run your ad banner for one year"
"We'll pay you as much as you paid for PHP."
Like everyone, Rasmus has his views about the world and the people that are in it.
"We do not endorse political parties, we don't have a preferred religion, we try to stay out of license wars, we don't choose one OS over another and we support commercial operating systems whether they come from Redmond, Cupertino or Mountain View."
"Unfortunately we do not live in a standard world. Half of these things are browser-specific tweaks. When the world becomes standard, I will start caring about standards."
"It is offensive that you feel you have the right to complain about this."
His thoughts about geeks and women
"Females? What are these females you speak of? As a large collection of male geeks, we don't really know how to encourage/attract these female creatures. We certainly are not doing anything consciously to discourage females from volunteering and helping out."
