Yeah, I just loved that when I read it. It makes me even prouder of
groups like CentOS who are now milking the RedHat Enterprise solutions
which, in turn, have been for years and for profit milking the efforts
of an international army of FOSS types.
When you fit this together with the article "Here comes the backlash"

it makes a pretty good case for the power of FOSS.
