Slashdot's front page contains slightly aggressive and grossly inaccurate GPL and open source FUD. An observation and rebuttal to it you can find here. (thanks for the headsup, Tracy).

Some have irreconcilable differences with free software.

Bill Gates cannot reconcile is ego or his business model with software licensed under the GNU General Public License.

Fine, I don't mind if Bill Gates doesn't reconcile himself with the future of software. Let Microsoft wither on the vine. More mind-share and market-share for those of us who can reconcile business, ego, and free software.

Others are making billions off of software licensed under various versions of the GNU General Public License.

Too bad the web-services giants who rely on "open source" software give such minuscule contributions back to the original sources of inspirational software which result in a river of revenue for them.

It's a shame how small the budget of the Free Software Foundation is in proportion to the revenue of the "open source" giants.

There will be another wave of entrepreneurs who will have respect for the original innovators and visionaries unlike the first wave of "open source" companies.

We'll steadily erode the mind-share and market-share of those companies who put shareholders' squalling for immediate income above common decency.
