I'm sorry but Linux is far from being monopolistic, and preventing closed-source software from spreading on Linux is creating another kind of dictatorship that already exists on MS Windows. I frankly don't want to have the choice between two dictatorships.
You're starting to sound like Hugo Chavez. ;-)

Based on his accomplishments, I'll take that as a compliment. For someone criticizing the US foreing policy, being named by a US magazine must mean something...

Yeah, and I'll bet there's a CIA plot behind this whole openmotif thing too.

Hugo Chavez is a complete nutter.

It's one thing to critize U.S. foreign policies, but it's quite another to use U.S. as a scape goat as you and your friends consolidate political power and seize control of economic assist to the complete detriment of your own country and your own citizens.

"It's one thing to critize Iraq foreign policies, but it's quite another to use Iraq as a scapegoat as you and your friends consolidate political power and seize control of economic assist to the complete detriment of your own country and your own citizens."

Certainly works both ways, doesn't it? Chavez *may* be a nutter (I don't know enough about him really to form an opinion on that), but if he is, he's in good (so to speak) company.
