Well, when the question is "Why doesn't Soft write everything in Linux,
the open-source language available for little or no cost?", is it
surprising that the answer doesn't fit? Chinery-Hesse seems to suffer from
the delusion that if he writes software which runs under Linux, he must
release the source code. Is he a victim of M$ FUD? I dunno.

But if this article gets some attention, then maybe he'll hear from Mark
Shuttleworth.
