Free software darling SugarCRM blasts OSI

,----[ Quote ]
| Full of free software pride, SugarCRM CEO John Roberts has revitalized his 
| attack against the Open Source Initiative (OSI) characterizing the 
| organization as weak and confused.  
| 
| After being the open source community's whipping boy, SugarCRM now enjoys a 
| position of power.  Last month, the software maker agreed to place a fresh 
| version of its flagship product under the General Public License v3 (GPLv3) 
| crafted by the Free Software Foundation. This established SugarCRM as the 
| most prominent backer of GPLv3 to date.
