Eric S. Raymond writes on his blog:
"There's been a lot of debate in the community about how OSI should properly handle Microsoft's planned submission of some of its licenses for OSD certification. That debate has been been going on within OSI, too. OSI's official position, from the beginning, which I helped formulate and have expressed to any number of reporters and analysts, is that OSI will treat any licenses submitted to Microsoft strictly on their merits, without fear or favor. That remains OSI's position. But I find that my resolve is being sorely tested."

Some of them, yes. ESR is one such example, although so far he's only full-out supported genocide on the basis of race and religion.
RMS, on the other hand, has proclaimed that those who "charge for software" (his words, not mine) are commiting "a crime against humanity" (again, his words, not mine).
These people are insane demagogues.
(And I'm not "chastened" by being voted down. The fasco-commies have always been quick always quick to silence truth.)
