I agree, Journalists should pick fights, but I would prefer if they built up their arguments a bit better than this.

I am one who is not familiar with the author previously, and from what he brings up I am highly inclined to agree with him, but I have to agree I became more sceptical to his arguments when all he brings up to support it is one very sparing data point (that graph feels very misleading). Give me data on how the kernel support has changed over time. Give me data on how the foundations income has changed over time. Not showing me any of this makes me very sceptical. Would showing this data not support the authors point?

There's journalism that challenges the status quo, and there's muckraking, which is the degenerate form. This seems to be the degenerate form.

why?

what do you feel it's purpose is? do you think the people who give it gobs of money agree with you?

Do you see any value in MBAs that are able to 'sell' other MBAs on the importance and value of Linux and OSS?

Are you saying MBAs and sales only provide value if they’re in the position of leadership?
