from the article:
Canonical's recent deal with Linspire, which will give Linux users legal access to WMF and other key proprietary codecs, is precisely the sort of thing Red-Hat/Fedora could and should have taken the lead in.
That seems like a plug for Linspire to me. -Brock

It is, and that's the disturbing part the story.

That may have something to do with Raymond recently joining the Linspire board. Read this newsletter from a little more than a month ago, especially point number 10.

Unethical to say the least. Eric S. Raymond, ladies and gentlemen. It's a wonder he gets away with so much.
