Free software is dead.

It appears that the Free Software Foundation is rapidly succeeding
in killing off "Free Software". Alan McKenzie and Pamela Jones are
going to have to find some other nutty anti-capitalist theme to
promote.

"The path forward is open source, not free software. Sometimes that
openness will mean embracing Microsoft in order to meet a customer's
needs. After all, fierce partisanship and an unwillingness to
compromise in software accomplishes is just as pointless, distasteful,
and useless as it is in government.

Free software has lost. Open source has won. We're all the better for it."
