x1048576 writes "The [0]Alexis de Tocqueville Institution is only one of
a dozen different think tanks that have attacked Open Source. Why are all
these think tanks so down on Open Source? Well, the [1]Small Business
Survival Committee is concerned that using open source will expose small
business to the risk of lawsuits. [2]Citizens Against Government Waste is
concerned that the government might waste money on Open Source.
[3]Defenders of Property Rights is concerned that Open Source might be a
threat to intellectual property rights. However, I was able to detect a
common theme to all their criticism. [4]They all seem to be funded by
Microsoft."
