Lawrence Lessig comments succinctly on one of the more outrageous stories I’ve read recently. (I’m not sure why I didn’t link to it.)

If you’re judging companies by their actions rather than their words, then it’s becoming evident that open source is really starting to scare the hell out of the vested interests in the software industry.
