Open source vs. Free software (Score 1)

Seems to me this guy's confusing the two, thinking about the profit and the bottom line, rather than the software produced. The distinction was made by RMS in his recent interview. Or maybe he isn't; maybe he's not at all interested in the software produced, and deliberately focusing on the profitability of open source ventures. As an economic phenomenon, it has perhaps been over-hyped a wee bit. Which is why I side with RMS over ESR on the whys of the issue.
