Disney sitcom: Using open-source is a rookie mistake

Posted on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 18:17 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Disney sitcom Shake it Up is causing some controversy on the web, due to a scene in a recent episode that put open-source software in a bad spotlight. Open-source was linked to being insecure and virus-ridden, and referred to as a "rookie mistake".

Shake It Up, Season 2, Episode 28, "Made In Japan", originally aired 8/17/2012 on the Disney Channel

What do you think, is this a rookie mistake from a Disney script writer or a nefarious plot against open-source software?
