Most of what's written in that article seems true, but it's one of the most
slanted articles I've ever seen, and this criticism comes from a guy who
writes slanted articles regularly (the old style Troubleshooting Professional
Magazines).
Here's what I want to know. Why does an article appearing in "just the facts,
just business" Forbes comment on Stallman's habits, grooming, etc? Why does
it comment on Stallman's singing?
He gripes about Stallman cracking down on the legalities of the license? Why
would this concept produce *gripes* in Forbes? In Wired, sure, but in Forbes
-- "intellectual property" lawsuits are just normal stuff for the business
types.
I find it really bizarre that this article appeared in Forbes.
