The End of Idealism "...a lot of the intellectual property in Linux is actually owned by companies that never officially agreed to make it available under an open-source license. Most obvious here is The SCO Group...But there are others, including Microsoft, that could do the same if they chose. "
"The most successful open-source movement prior to Linux was the hacker movement—not exactly the kind of folks that corporate decision-makers want associated with their platform software."
This still proves that there is still a lot of ignorance (or if you're paranoid maybe corporate sponsored fear, uncertainity and doubt) about free software.
