[plug] [link] lwn letter - amazing....

[Craig Ringer]

Hiya all.
Thought I'd direct those interested to a letter over at lwn:

.

<fireproof>
I personally find it embarrasing that there are people who write in like 
that to a bunch who've worked so hard for so little, for so long. 
<bitter>He's probably from the "email <sw company x> and tell them that 
they have to open source their sofware, because all information wants to 
be free!" crowd. *arrggh*.</bitter>.

I'm _so_ fed up with the counter-productive and immature way that some 
of the FSF-zealot crowd behave, especially since it gives everybody else 
a bad name. Most people, especially those not really involved with / 
following OSS can't tell the difference between the FSF and OS 
philosophies, and between the realists and zealot extermists in those 
camps. Naturally, the zealots often get noticed more because they're so 
in-your-face... *sigh*.

And yeah I'm really annoyed as per the tone of this message, but I 
really am trying not to start a flamewar...
