Dont be so hard on him, he has been a ton of fun on this thread, really a helpful sort of fellow he has said:

OSS companies can make money
OSS companies do hire developers
The LGPL is OK
Stallman does not call the shots in the OSS community
Solairs and OSX would not be what they are w/out OSS

Its been a banner day for him..

OK, I'll lighten up a bit. :)

BTW--Did you see this? It relates to the orginal article of this thread.

OSS companies can make money

Only at the expense of our traditional software companies, who lose a lot more than the open source cloners ever make up with their freeware fakes.

JBoss brings in only $50 million a year in revenues, at most, from providing training, support, and maintenance services to its users, it has siphoned off some hundreds of millions in market value from the likes of BEA Systems and IBM by giving away free software.

More great help from GE today:

Putting Software under the GPL does not give your code to FSF

The man is a FUD breaking machine today...
