Parent article: Of hypocrisy and the FSF (Libervis)

This article is pure flamebait. It's an obscure screed by a random blogger that makes no particulary new observations, puts strawman thoughts into RMS's head (e.g. "he fails to recognize that I can get non-free software anywhere" ...right), and is an invitation for the kind of heat-no-light discussion above.

This is the kind of article Slashdot posts in order to attract readers by making them see red, but I expect a higher standard of journalism from LWN.

I agree, and it seems to have had the unfortunate effect also of attracting slashdot-like trolls.
