Worst cases: Difference between revisions

[[Company X]] and other enemies create their own modified schema, AND modified software.  The modified software works with and even EXPECTS the altered grammar, and now you have a fork.  Each promoter of a new fork gets "friendly" content poured into the altered grammar that we can't get first, and (depending on content license and source) can't even copy or validate.  The "new improved" [[Corporate Consumerium]] takes over with careful marketing of itself to retails.  These professionally-marketed alternative software turns the same green or red light, but, with different criteria.  The idea that "you own the hardware you decide what software will run on it, not the customer" is heavily promoted to the [[point of sale]] venue owner (retailer).  Advertising benefits are tossed in.  Since it serves the interests of retailers, and maybe pays them, it will be preferentially installed to use the [[hardware requirements|standard hardware]] deployed to those retailers by Consumerium.  We get crowded out, like Linux has been crowded out, and are used only in a few backwater places that the mainstream marketers ignore.  Consumerium has maybe 2% of a market in [[moral purchasing]], and does all the hard work, but is not the source of innovation.
