I hadn't read it, until now. I was disappointed in the quality of both
Mr. Meyer's thought and his rhetoric.
For example, I found the following passage particularly thought-provoking:
It is high time for Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds
to state publicly that
they do not endorse the views of the gun lunatics, and
that their cherished
notion of freedom has nothing to do with the freedom to
kill children and other
innocents. That this has not happened is a sign of the
distortion of the moral
values of the free software movement.
Thanks for calling this gem to my attention!
