I guess their strong stance (and words) result from the violent attack
(whether deliberate or not) from Reuters and others (yes, there are others
as well who muddies the water with disinformation, maybe for
sensationalism). Other silly headlines:
* Is Red Hat in trouble?
* JBoss founder quits
* EC rejects Open Source
The first sentence or paragraph to follow changes the tune completely. It's
just a case of eye grabbing through exaggeration. Sometimes I'm guilty as
well, but I try to avoid it.
