It's the general day to day business from talking to many people from
IBM or other companies of that size.  I *do* get the strong feeling
that the commercial companies who are promoting the idea of open
source software see the FSF as something they can use in any way they
fancy.  Sort of......   Hey !  Let's use this jerk to make yet another
million.

That and the political hassle I can see around me between the FSF and
the open source companies doesn't make me feel as though things will
go as they should.

Thanks
