I actually think the Zed haters have finally jumped the shark.

If anyone but Zed wrote that essay on open source licenses, one would be hard pressed to call it a rant. It was quite well reasoned and didn't seem particularly brash. Many of the people chiming in on the discussion are trolling at magnitudes far beyond what his essay merited.

This isn't directed at OP per se, I just finally got around to commenting on this here.
