Granted, more oriented towards the desktop crowd, but hopefully on-topic
enough. If not, I apologize. The only thing that I see wrong with it is
that the author does not get "libre" != "gratis". He states that FOSS is
free. He states that there is no monetary benefit to the developer with
FOSS as there is with proprietary software. I don't think this is
entirely true. But I guess it is more so than with proprietary (even
shareware).

I think his misunderstanding of "libre" != "gratis" leads to serious
errors elsewhere, and I think there are differences between the Windows
GUI and Linux GUIs that serve no (or insufficient) purpose, and worse,
between different Linux GUIs (particularly Gnome and KDE).
