I was reading through the personal site of Joseph B. Ottinger, former
Editor-in-Chief of Java Developers Journal. He's also a respected
author, developer, etc. I know many of you respect FSF, but here's a
critical article on FSF, based on his personal experiences. Also
tackled is the often-discussed point about whether Linux should be
properly called GNU/Linux.

P.S: Those are *his* views (but they make sense), not mine, so don't
flame me to hell :)
hmm... I am not sure _IF_ that is the real Joseph B. Ottinger or the
real Vamsee Kanakala, and unless their opinions are put in writing, and
signed by them, we can't really reply. _IF_ they don't send their
opinions in writing, duly signed, I won't judge either as hypocretes by
their own standards ;) _IF_ they do send their opinions in writing,
duly signed, I would certainly have reasons to conclude that they have
very low self esteem, about as worthy as their writings so far :)
Sorry about waking up dead threads, but this would make sense to a few :)
