     This just shows that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Although, I like some of the things that ESR has done (i.e. _The New
Hacker's Dictionary_), I completely disagree with his views on Open
Source software.  Personally, I don't consider Copyleft software to be
truely open (I also don't think Apple's stuff is truely open, but I
don't think it is any worse then Copyleft'ed stuff either).  I also
thought his paper, The Bazaar and the Cathedral, was just plain
bizarre, and quite out of touch with reality.
