Talk:Embrace, extend, and extinguish/Archives/2019

Non–standards-compliant

Opinions differ on the use of the ndash here. I took my cue from "non–brain-injured subjects" rather than "non-government-owned corporations".

See dash. — MaxEnt 16:21, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

I should not, for non-software people, that a lot of software out there is de facto "non-standard" compliant, so I found the phrase a bit jarring without the ndash, as my semantic and lexical worlds clashed (bugs in one package are deliberately emulated in another, until the bug is a feature). — MaxEnt 16:23, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

RedHat mention was removed

Why revert 904779272 and how this is SYNTH? As far as i'm concerned, removed paragraph didn't imply anything, it was describing similar strategy implemented by RedHat quoting direct speech from RedHat employees on this approach of theirs. There were also links to numerous efforts that open-source community has to take to workaround introduced interoperability problems.

There is a section to underline similar practices implemented by other companies. Why Netscape is allowed to be in that section, but RedHat isn't?

If there are any concerns with wording i think i can reword this paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neuroblaster1 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
