...Therefore he decided let the world know of his reasoning
"A single company and 177M$ could rewrite everything that is open source" he wrote, on his 30M cloc open source browser, which dutifully sent packets to his router running 35M cloc open kernel, compiled with a 10M cloc open compiler.

"...You want to do what with that chump change?" thought the red hat executive, a 19k employee and multi-billion dollar company built around open source
