I am a developer, and I have to say that I agree. Although, since the code I write is used to provide web services (and thus not "distributed"), the license isn't quite so important; I make use of free software under both GPL and BSD/X11 style licenses.

ESR does seem to excel at missing the point entirely these days...perhaps we should find another self-appointed leader of the "open source" movement?
