Ok, I'm calling you on this right now!  This is nothing but FUD.
Open Source Software's future is perfectly fine.  There are plenty
of safeguards for this, and if somehow something slips through
it gets removed as fast as it can get identified.

I begin to wonder why you are hiding behind the facade of a name
like Gnu Man.  Who are you really?  With statements like that, you're
no Gnu Man.  Do you work at SCO?   Go spread your FUD elsewhere.

 This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source 
 people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security 
 threat. -- Bruce Sterling
