Again…

After a friendly mail exchange with Christoph,
it appears that he was not aware of my work
on the LSD software at the time he published
his work on LUCY.
This “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”
(LSD) – LUCY possible word game is only
a pure coincidence, from which I wrongly
drew suspiscions.
Reader, please, do as if my preceding post
was never written.

Sure, the wild “repackaging” of a Free Software in a
proprietary product is not recommended.
However, I always wondered wether
the concepts in LUCY,
without the Sky and the Diamonds,
were not directly taken from LSD…

Wow, this is surprising and I am sure that one presentation or one booth on a ‘modeling intelligence’ conference might result in some unexpected feedback for those people.

I do not mind that someone comes up with a business model, I am more surprised about the bold manner this is done here. I have the feeling that someone in market research did here a pretty bad job ! In this area people know who has done what and I just cannot believe that this works for this community.

On the other hand, I must say that I like the idea of having commercial support So, maybe someone else should come-up with a business model, which actually feeds tools like CDK, Bioclipse, and KNIME? Only if an official support structure exists, there is a way that people might buy-in ….

From InfoCom’s website:
“Our shared values of TRUST, RESPECT, INTEGRITY, COMPETENCE, MATURITY AND HAPPINESS have not changed since 1985. They define who we are as people not just as a company.”

What? They’ve always been this duplicitious?
