I just spotted this old thread.

If I didn't write it before I'd write it now. His and Richard Stallman's views on copyright are too extreme. Also you can have Open Source without GPLx. I support the right of people to produce or use Open Source SW or HW but it must not be inflicted.

I'd have doubts too about how good is SF is and anyway even if you are the best author in the world it doesn't mean you are expert at anything other than writing.

False Expert Syndrome. C.f. Stephen Fry on Tech (He's an actor) or Dawkins on Theology (A biologist).
