[...] But I have to ask...how do you think this will
do damage to
the open source community?
I didn't write what you're responding to. But my take on it is that
the death of open source envisaged there is a world in which there
aren't any computers that don't subscribe to such paradigms, and the
damage done in the short term consists of accustoming people to the
idea that it's a reasonable and long-term-viable paradigm.
