It's a good article, but some of the talkbacks seem to be about as
ill-informed as our Microsoft munchkins are here. The first one, in
particular, completely missed the point with respect to the economics
of open-source, thus fails to recognise that the GPL has been key to
the continued success of Linux, and that using a BSD or other licence
simply would not have worked.
