Their take on the GPL3 is interesting and rather telling. They still
don't get open source. They barely get technology in general. Pretty much
anything they have to say on tech you can discount.
Their article on the GPL3 was just a partisan hatchetjob and didn't
acknowledge the fact that Redhat (et al) can control the GNU utilities as
much as RMS can. There just needs to be enough pushback to get a fork rolling.
Between Redhat, Novell, IBM and Oracle that shouldn't be very hard.
The entire community can route around RMS if it decides to.
