Some similarities: I don't see any similarities, you only wrote about OSS. Not about Free software.
1. decentralized : there is no one Pope for either, although there are certainly Ayatollah wannabes in OSS like RMS. RMS isn't part of the OSS movement. 2. imperialistic [...] 3. no dissent allowed [...] The two comparisons make no sense. 4. destructive : OSS radicals want to get rid of even the copyright, [...] I don't know about OSS, but we--the Free Software movement--use copyright law to protect our freedom. Would be silly to destroy the sword that protects us. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
