Unfortunately this research isn't visible in your rant, and it's not about factual errors. I didn't notice any effort to understand the situation better, for example by speaking with people involved (like the developer in question). But even if you did that, it looks like you intentionally avoided presenting the other point of view, instead of that you assumed upfront that the only reason is pure evilness. This is simply not a very convincing argument. If you posted this at oppugn.us I wouldn't say a word, but I assumed that sheddingbikes.com is a place for more polished stuff. PS. Debian is a loosely coupled group of more or less skilled volunteers with very little oversight and no business motivation. Debian has its flaws, but I see nothing in common with Microsoft.
