Whattya expect ;-) This is from Eric Raymond, the author of 'The Cathedral and the Bazaar'. His primary justification for the "success" of the Bazaar rests with ego gratification. I don't buy it. Ever met Eric? I have. When the hosts of the Atlanta Linux Exposition we gracious (and open minded) enough to let us participate with FreeBSD, he shows up screaming that we're heretics. Definitely a fanatic, but kinda humorous. I'd sure like to know just how he received that paper. Sounds like M$ might have infiltrated his associations around the top of the food chain for Linux. Believe me, this is a good time to be out of the spotlight.
