The irony is that Eric Raymond, until recently Presdident of the Free Software Foundation, is a solid Libertarian.

Exactly - open-source software doesn't have a political affiliation, and benefits everyone, including private corporations.

While my political views are mostly libertarian, I've always been a little leery about Raymond - I seem to remember him and others taking the old jargon file which thousands of people had contributed to and making a book out of it.

The secret of success is knowing the right time to take credit for the labor of others. ;-)
