Are you called "the Dutch RMS" because you just ape his pronouncements
verbatim?
Or do you actually have the ability to make valuable contributions, as
opposed to the self promotion and ego pandering that most of your emails
to this mailing list seem to be?
As many people have pointed out, if we're allocating blame^Wcredit here,
it should be GNU/Apache/X/Open/MIT/BSD/Others (in no particular order)
Linux.

<alp> proprietary software is kind of love/hate by definition. you
love the vendor for giving you a useful software tool, but
hate them when you find out that the tool is bug-riddled and
you'll have to pay for an upgrade. In that respect, free software
is pure love, i guess. heh
