Great (though brief) piece in Salon magazine about Linux, equating Linus
Torvald and his operating system to Martin Luther and the Protestant
Reformation... hey, it's not so much of a stretch as you might think! <g>
An excerpt:
"Whenever an abusive power elite monopolizes one of life's
essentials and offers it at ever-greater expense, people
eventually get around to weighing that price against the cost of
producing it themselves. And whether that essential is salvation
or operating system source code, when the scales tip, people
will find a way."
