Given that Zemlin hasn't tried to correct the citation over the past week on a medium he has full control of his words over, like this comment section or his Linux Foundation blog, I think criticism of this smear job and Zemlin as the person behind it is warranted.

Rather then getting personal with the criticism, I think the more interesting question is about Zemlin's professionalism: Sun is a Silver member of the Linux Foundation. That's the same level like Red Hat.

How much sense it makes for the Linux Foundation to have someone in Zemlin's position going around smearing its members in the New York Times, is something for the Linux Foundation membership and board to think about.
