Linus Torvads licenses Linux under GPL2, and created Linux to mesh with GNU software. Eric Raymond still contributes to GNU software. And all these people treat each other with respect, and when they disagree, they express that disagreement in a high quality and respectful manner.
I have to agree with Alan: http://www.linuxtoday.com/mailprint.php3?action=pv<sn=2001-08-17-016-20-OP-CY Eric Raymond: Freedom, Power, or Confusion? [ESR on debate between O'Reilly and FSF]: "In other words, Stallman and Kuhn want to be able to make decisions that affect other developers more than themselves. By the definition they themselves have proposed, they want power. Perplexing, isn't it? Tim and the FSFers both claim to stand for `freedom'. Both assert that each others' definition of "freedom" is actually a covert form of control, a claim of power over others. The only difference is in who the victims of "Powerplay Zero" are, users or developers." Eric Raymond speaks simple, gospel truth without ad hominem attacks!
