[News] Linux is Capitalism

Published yesterday.

| In 2000, Microsoft's Steve Ballmer made a questionable remark: he referred
| to Linux (and the open source/free software community) and its development
| process as "communist." He said that "Linux is a tough competitor. There's
| no company called Linux, there's barely a Linux road map. Yet Linux sort
| of springs organically from the earth. And it had, you know, the
| characteristics of communism that people love so very, very much about
| it. That is, it's free." Ballmer's statements show his ignorance of
| economics and the nature of human action.
