It's kind of hard to look at the writing of Tim O'Reilly, for example, and be kind:
http://radar.oreilly.com/2007/08/my-tonguelashing-from-eben-mog.html It's instructive to play the video of Moglen's talk with O'Reilly, but if you're pressed for time just read the first sentence of the last paragraph of O'Reilly's response in which he casually tosses off a criticism of the Free Software movement for focusing on software instead of... wait for it... freedom! That's right, Mr. Open Source thinks the FSF needs to focus more on promoting a concept which he himself literally and purposely removed from his own vocabulary when describing software. A nasty tone in response to that kind of nonsense may or may not be effective, but it certainly isn't vapid. (And neither is Moglen's explanation of what O'Reilly has been avoiding in his discourse for the past decade.) -Jonathan -- Too many emails?
