Earlier today
we mentioned what appears to be a hidden agenda that InformationWeek seems to have adopted. Ciarán O'Riordan from the
FSFE strikes back.
LINUS CALLS GPLv3 "A FINE CHOICE" - is a title that InformationWeek could have used for their article. It would have been very selective quoting, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for InformationWeek.
Nor does pretending that old emails are new emails, or misrepresenting people.
InformationWeek is not making any friends in the Free software world. Some suspect it is being paid generously by a particular 'generous' company. Let's keep an eye InformationWeek and let them know that we know what's going on.

(Oh, and s/FSF/FSFE/ for the original title - our sister organisation in Boston have their own interesting blogs at http://www.fsf.org/blogs )

I knew you were with the FSFE, but thought these two were interchangeable, at least in one direction (by affiliation, one being a subset of another).

It seems like a Rob Enderle wannabe.
