Fake Steve Jobs Coins a New Open Source Term

I like to read a little reality injection to counter the open source hype. Open source isn't going to go away, but neither is it a monumental change that will make the Microsofts and SAPs of the world dry up and blow away. It will change some businesses in good ways, others in bad ways, and provide some new opportunities. I enjoyed Fake Steve skewering the more religious side, though I disagree with some of his conclusions in there. His new term to add to the open source lexicon is "freetard".
