Indeed. However Roy also supports Homer's stats - which are, of course,
closed source.
Mark Kent would refer to ZFS as "malware" since it's not OSS. Don't
believe me? Well google up his comments on closed source binary video
drivers. Conversely, however he revels in being just behind (oo-err)
Roy's backside in the "quality posts" section of the CLOSED SOURCE news
stats.
"Hypocrite" is a well known word in this group.
