OLPC and Microsoft

The key point is that Negroponte, in claiming others took an education
process and made it about free software, is impugning the labor put in
by people who contributed precisely *because* the OLPC was sold to the
community as being about education via free software.

He has stabbed those people in the back, and regardless of how he tacks
politically (there are undoubtedly many more shifts with the prevailing
winds to come), his character to many people in this community -- including
me -- is now mud.
