Sounds to me like he is just spreading more FUD. Personally, I don't
see him as exuding IT experience, except as a freelanced fictional
writer after not getting tenure at a major university..
And then there is this about him.

"Daniel Lyons is Not A Fanatic. He's Just From Another Planet. This is
just very poor writing with very poor research and very poor
comprehension of the topic. Sure, there are noisy fanatics - but have
you ever heard of a silent fanatic? No, of course not. Yet to write
something like that - if Lyons is a good writer - shows something else:
that he's trying to put a spin on things. The concept of Open Source or
even Free Software must be alien. It must be uncapitalistic."
