If you read the whole article it actually promotes Free and Open Source
Software. The only issue is that Schwartz mixes up the definition of
Free Software -- occasionally he refers to software with zero cost as
Free software and FOSS as Open Source, which I guess he's entitled to
do. Apart from that he's making strong and valid points against
proprietary software. Good article.
