Lest we forget, "You have zero privacy. Get over it." came from him (https://www.wired.com/1999/01/sun-on-privacy-get-over-it/ https://www.wired.com/1999/01/sun-on-privacy-get-over-it/) Sun Microsystems under McNealy were also no friends of Linux or open source. Though less visible than Microsoft, plenty of FUD came from Sun about how Linux would never equal proper operating systems like Solaris. (In a sense, he wasn't wrong; IMO Linux didn't really catch up until Sun Microsystems had effectively died by being sold to Oracle to be gutted.)
