Open Source Greed (scru.org)

There were two small dogs. One red and one blue. One day the red dog found a bone and the blue dog was jealous. The blue dog appealed to the queen and the queen said "spongebob rutabaga" and there was never again a red dog or blue dog.

Now you are all as enlightened as I was after reading this story.


Can someone provide some context here? With 16 votes at the moment it seems there are some folks who recognize "project r and project b." However after scanning some of the other pages on the site I wonder if this prose means much to anyone other than the author.


I doubt the op was trying to point fingers (or blame). Easier to generalize and leave at that.


Generalize what? A made up story? Has something similar happened to two projects in the past?


It could be greed. It could be both projects were useless. It could be something else came along that was better. It could be really anything. Not enough information to draw a conclusion.
