He is a strong open source advocate, but is concerned that some open source folks want to cast the role of the movement as an attack on corporate America. As a Linux user, I have met a few of the 'ultimate consumers', pay for nothing, produce nothing.

They seem to overlook the second clause.

Sorry, but that trap for the Open Source Movement was laid by Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation LONG before Linus Torvalds. The movement began as an attack -- not on corporate America -- but free market economics itself, and has been co-opted more and more by sensible people as time has gone by.
