The most blatant example of mindless ideological hatred I've run into recently are attacks on GNU, coupled with personal venomous attacks on RMS.

Bill Moran has it right - there's room for all kinds of licensing models. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
