Of course ESR will jump on this issue, he'll jump on anything in the spotlight, others are busy doing truly useful work for less recognition.

It is better to have a guy like ESR around than not - historical knowledge of UNIX and open source doesn't come from nowhere. He may be a bit biased, but aren't we all to some extent?

ESR does have good UNIX knowledge but we have Bruce Perens, Linus Torvalds, and Ken Thompson commenting on this issue. I think they are completely competent.

This essay is possibly ESRs best work.

I don't think ESR is worthy of attention. I'd rather not have him around. I won't go into it at length now :)
