The author rails against the jingoisms used against linux and indulges

"Standard Oil's quasi-monopolistic position had been established through
aggressively anti-competitive business practices, including a systematic

think of a certain software giant. Anyway, I think there are few people
that consider price fixing, bid rigging, and market allocation schemes
"one of the biggest democratic forces." "
