This week in InfoWorld, Nick Petreley wrote: "FreeBSD fans often resent the popularity of Linux and some consider Richard Stallman the antichrist because he believes in making open source software mandatory." (See http://forums.infoworld.com/threads/get.cgi?70162 for context.) This is, of course, a mischaracterization on several counts. Those on this list should write ick and explain to him that FreeBSD advocates don't "resent" the popularity of Linux but rather believe that FreeBSD is underrecognized. And also that advocacy of the Berkeley license over the GPL isn't "considering Richard Stallman the Antichrist" -- it's a realistic, practical stance that's NOT motivated by Stallman's anti-business ideology.
