[CoLoCo] in defense of open source

[Ringo Kamens]

Jim agreed to do an interview with Binary Freedom about this article,
his response, and GNU/Linux in general. I think he did a great job and
you all might find it interesting. See
http://binaryfreedom.info/node/269 and if you feel so inclined:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Interesting_Interview_About_Linux
This issue already got on digg once, can we pull it off again?
