This columnist must get a lot of fan mail...

Warning, warning, warning: all kinds of logical gymnastics ahead. A
columnist at WorldTechTribune suggests that programmers' skills are
eroding because they can cut and past code from Open Source programs
instead of writing it themselves. He bases this claim on a company
Australia that can't find skilled Visual Basic and SQL programmers.
Here's some of that strange logic: " Because of the General Public
License that virtually all Linux/open source apps are subject to,
Linux/open source programmers are within legal rights to cut-and-paste
pieces of code from any other open source app into their project." By
the way, there's a place on the article to email the columnist.
