Licence stupidity in 2011.
As amazing as it is, there are still people who simply do not understand Free Software licences (but actually generate Free Software).
Consider this gem.
A project that is released as GPL cannot be used in any commercial product without the product itself also being offered as open source.
What? You mean like the Linux kernel? A GPL'd product used in many commercial products?
Even worse, he conflates "open source" with Free Software.
For shame, Kenneth Reitz, for shame.
