Misconceptions and Misperceptions

Forbes portrays the Free Software Foundation in a rather negative light. Of course, the FSF is known for being doctrinaire and annoying, but I wouldn’t exactly call them “hit men.” Meanwhile, conspiracy mongering about the mono project. Come on guys. It’s software. I know you live it and breathe it. I live it and breathe it.

But this isn’t the movies. There are no hit men. X never marks the spot. It’s not called “evil” or “double-crossing” in this world, it’s mere unethical business practices and breach of contract. You want to see pirates and hit men, go run opium from Burma to Hong Kong.
