If you look on SlashDot.org (http://slashdot.org) there was quite a
discussion about these guys between 8/19 and 8/23...

My take on it is that they are a serious bunch of @ssholes, trying to get
on the Linux bandwagon, and make the most of it for themselved. AFAIK,
there is not one of the 'big names' in the Linux developer/advocacy
community that has supported them. With any luck they will be dead in the
water, or anything they do will be a moot point.
