"Cracker" has nothing to do with what article describes,or what Stallman, Raymond and others want it to mean. "Cracker" has very technical definition: subclass of hackers, who is involved only in removing of copy protection in commercial software and making keygens; "crackers" are the original creators of the demoscene, because cracks often included visual/sound effects; also the industry of reverse engineering has roots in cracking.
