It would be nice if the BusinessWeek guys got their facts right.

 Open-source software programmers say they're different from Stallman in 
one major way: They don't have a problem with people making money off 
their work--or making money themselves.

That's completely wrong. The only problem Stallman has, is with people 
taking free software and turning it to proprietary, which is simply a 
stab in the back for the free software world.

And when we say "free" in this context, we don't mean gratis.
