HP has fired Bruce Perens - the leading Open Source evangelist and former Debian project lead - for Microsoft-baiting, he says. "It came after a long, long warning," Perens told the New York Times. "The thing that I did that was most hazardous for HP is the Microsoft-baiting I tend to do." Perens joined HP as Open Source adviser less than two years ago. At the time, he was given "http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=00/12/05/1145237&mode=thread">carte blanche to continue expressing his own opinions -- both to the public, and to Hewlett-Packard".
