Меня здесь только вот это заинтересовало: 

Because open-source code is by definition freely downloadable, however,
open-source software makers have recently turned to alternative models
to make money. Sun Microsystems recently made the controversial decision
to charge for its part open-source StarOffice productivity suite.

Raymond believes the move will do StarOffice no favors, especially
because its open-source components are freely available in the form of
OpenOffice. "StarOffice just died," Raymond said. "If OpenOffice still
exists, and it's GPLed, and they're going to start charging for
StarOffice, then they just shot StarOffice through the head."

Рэймонд, как всегда, категоричен
