It was painful to read because I worried the authors (you) were simply conflating FOSS with OSS and throwing the baby out with the bath water. It would have been a relief to see anywhere in the article even once a mention of the solution, referencing the genuine copyleft strategy, as opposed to only discussion of the problems with the imposter.
Even an aside alluding to the rise of the term 'open source' via Tim O'Reilly and Torvald's sellout capitulation would have been all I needed not to feel sick to my stomach thinking things had just taken a turn for the worst. Not that they haven't... But hopefully you know what I mean. Thank you for clarifying somewhat. I'm really impatient for the book now and am reading all I can find of what you've published.
