"copyleft" has everything to do with politics. Just as the article admits, it aims to turn our capitalistic society on it's head, and communist governments the world over are flocking to it.
Wrong.
Just as the article admits,...
You must've read something I didn't. Where?
Open source is inherently more capitalistic than the business models of MS or apple.....
Besides, your argument makes zero sense.
^^^^^^^^^^^and communist governments the world over are flocking to it.^^^^^^^^^^^

And now that these governments are leaving windows, that doesn't make windows less communistic now.
It's how the models are set up. Microsoft spends alot more time trying to make you dependent than the OSS crowd. Is that capitalistic or communistic? Hmmmm?
His blog is "Hacking for Christ." That kind of puts a dent in a chain of arguments seen on FR: OSS is communist, communism is anti-Christian. Well, here's an outspoken Christian leading one of the most prominent OSS projects.
I wouldn't get too worried about it. Netscape and IE are both free as well. Danged capitalistic competition.....
