I have been a user of Open Source software since I went to university in 1989 and been writing my own open source software for over ten years. As such I always kept an eye on what leading figures in the Free Software Movement have to say.
As such, it was with interest that I read the headline; "RMS: De Icaza Traitor to Free Software Community", being intrigued as to what Richard Stallmanhad said this time.
As I read through the post I noticed nothing unusual to start with; Stallman's usual rantings against anything that smells of the corporate world; Software as a Service, Proprietary JavaScript, even Mono, which I personally think is a good idea.
And then he was asked a question about the Microsoft "Open Source" labs.He said that Miguel de Icaza was a "traitor to the Free Software community" and a "Microsoft apologist", and that the Microsoft "Open Source" labs are just concerned with permitting open source software to work on Windows, drawing away developers from working on free platforms like GNU/Linux.
