Smirk. For someone currently under federal investigation for
anti-capitalist practises, Bill sure put his foot in it by trying to pin
such a label on GPL software - apparently on the grounds that collecting
_less_ taxes on software is anti-capitalist. (high taxes as a defining
capitalist principle - you heard it first from Bill...)

I guess that means campaigning against private, competitive bidding for
government contracts in favour of a single, centralised, mandated-by-law
IT vendor (Microsoft) is further evidence of Bill being such a capitalist?
