This is really your best article ever (and you sure had good ones in the past!) if only because it reminds of the most important fact behind the GPL: it made the Linux kernel possible.
I understand that it would have been shall we say "delicate" to put this in your article, but I will add it nonetheless:
Without the GPL, there would be no Linux (the kernel). But who made the GPL possible? RMS of course! Hence, no RMS - no Linux.
So all you open source zealots repeat after me: If no RMS, no free software values If no free software values, no GPL If no GPL, no Linux kernel If no Linux kernel, no "open source"
Got it? You owe your beloved "open source" to the man you love so much to trash and his "communnist/socialist/anarchist/liberal/hippie/et<nobr>c<wbr></nobr> " ideas.
Think about it before you defame him or his views next time!
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
small, but important, addendum
