Who pays Larry's check? (Score:1)

by roberto (3805)

IMHO there is a tight bond between ORA and Larry Wall, afaik they pay him and he gets to work on Perl. So the lines kind of overlap a bit.
Perhaps this kind of association between Perl and a corporation have made it more attractive to conservative companies (unlike Python and others)...
But the facts have to be made more visible at the site: Perl is Artistic and GPLed. It does not belong to O'reilly.

  Who pays Larry's check? The Perl Foundation... not ORA. Technically, Larry is unemployed.
