Besides the obvious troll - is there a message in there?

1. That BigCo are stealing Open Source (OSS = Open Source Software ) technologies? That's by design, the point is that BigCo can use the Open Source stuff but I get to use and modify them as well. Unlike proprietary software.
2. That nobody cares about OSS because the proprietary companies are so big and powerful? Well, those companies care about OSS, since they have big departments of people working on OSS.

Now, you message is really incoherent, I recommend laying of the booze for a while ^.^

Hmm, the nick "cheney" may indicate the troll was joking, posing as a BigCo supporter :-)
