Are you kidding
"To those who take more, who feel more, the open source priests, rabbis, imams and lamas, I personally want to salute you. By taking this value seriously you drive the movement forward. And you make society better as well."

Movement? Better society? It's ******* software. You're not saving the planet, curing diseases, or volunteering at a women's shelter. This is exactly why the open source nutjobs are so easily derided. It's like listening to a celebrity extol the social importance of their latest dopey movie. Get over yourselves. Please tell me how the nutjobs who volunteered their time to improve MySql have improved society. Ultimately all they did was volunteer work for Sun Microsystems, a billion dollar public company. How ******* stupid is that?
