Also the links to the associated articles are fantastic. It helped put one final thing in perspective for me. The proprietary interests that are afraid of Linux and OSS have only one last option available to them to stop the migration of customers away from their lock-in products. Only one. They must lie. Now for me, this means that they are even more vulnerable. All that is necessary is to reveal the truth to those that will listen. Those that listen and migrate will experience the benefits of OSS and Linux. Those that choose to continue being owned by the proprietary companies, will not be able to compete effectively. This will be due to their lower margins caused by the cost of the ball 'n chain products they use. Also the poor update schedules of those price-gouging companies will leave their customers trapped in vulnerabilities and exploits. "...and the truth shall make you free." Not to mention competitive.
