While the phlegm coughed up by the individaul in question may be unpalatable to many, one must realise that this is a direct result of the fact that the FSF chooses to promote only the lofty ideals of good society and the punchline "sharing is good; hoarding is evil" without even once touching upon the fact that there are a lot of developers/professionals around who make a living out of their skills. FLOSS has to grow out of the niche segment and join the mainstream. And for that to happen, the halo has to come off and we must have a more human face to look up to.
