Just had a look at Dave Winer's offering for the day, and there's a big chunk devoted to slagging off open-source 'zealots'. Comes across as being a little paranoid IMHO. I'm building a closed-source system and I wanted to use the best available components for my system, and found them as open-source. I'm planning on releasing various component parts back to the open-source 'community' - I don't think there's any conflict at all.

Current top Dave at Google, and the Dave I'd expect to be top.

PS. Today DW appears to be maintaining a more balanced approach - I'm tempted reread both posts and try and isolate the contradictions, but life's too short...
