It's unfortunate that Prof. Bernstein prefers personally attacking
critics to addressing the substance of what they say, but what can one
do?

It might qualify as zealotry if the only reason for having included
Netscape Navigator / Communicator (in the old days) had been licensing.
But Netscape Communications, Inc. allowed rearrangement of its
proprietary program's installation to comply with reasonable
directory-layout arrangements (e.g., FHS), and renaming of its component
files to meet distribution-specific standards, while Prof. Bernstein did
not with his -- and still does not.

Of course, it might have been the case that Bernstein antagonised the
Red Hat staff to the point where that they simply wanted nothing more to
do with him or his sofware.  Ask me how I know about this.  ;->
