The most amazing bit of hypocrisy, IMO, is RMS (who wishes to destroy the
competitive market in closed-source software) suggesting penalties that
should be applied to Microsoft (a lawsuit alleging that Microsoft has acted
to harm the competitive market in closed-source software). If RMS were
consistent (which up until now, he has been) he would oppose the anti-trust
laws (at least so far as they apply to Microsoft), since they seek to defend
the very thing he seeks to destroy.
