Yep, but Michael's quote was really right on (to save others from reading the otherwise uninteresting article I'll include it here): Michael Tiemann, chief technology officer of Linux vendor Red Hat Inc., compared Perens - as well as more radical free software evangelists Eric Raymond and Richard Stallman - to American revolutionaries. "Some of them are as crazy as Thomas Paine and some are only as crazy as Thomas Jefferson," Tiemann said. "But all those guys back then were quite radical and quite unable to tolerate the status quo."
