It's just a smoke screen to make up for the massive stability problems
people are having with Ubuntu and Fedora.

The truth is people could care less about having the source code.
Most don't even know what it is!

People want quality programs, systems that interact well with what they are
most likely using at their job and they want to be able to get help if they
need it without tracking down some Linux geek.

The FSF shows it's total ignorance of the market place here so it's no
wonder Linux is still sitting at 0.6 percent of the desktop market share
even after 15 years!

Go Linux!
Advertise that source code and see how many switch from Windows!
