We put the K in Kwality

Corporations want to make sure that the crap they sell you is of the highest quality. Thus standards such as ISO 9000 are born, ensuring that the process for making crap is completely documented and followed.

Now they want to apply quality standards to open-source software. Personally, I never understood how you could document the creative process, but damn it, they're gonna try.

(Calculating the percentage of GDP attributable to tax lawyers, ISO 9000 auditing, and pyramid schemes is left as an exercise for the reader.)
