  "textContent": "> …even in the modern era some cultures cannot allow mindsets to exist that are compatible with open source etc, because of how those cultures *are*. In other words, don't be surprised when OSS is always under attack by self-righteous, non-tolerant, tribalist cultures.\n\nAthenian has quite well acknowledged it. As he quotes in his signature:\n\n> Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. That's the way that the license works.\n\nWe are constantly resisting a culture (or rather, its ringleaders) which worships speed, (a narrowly confined sense of) convenience, disruption for its own sake and ephemerality, who abhor privacy and autonomy. I hesitate to call it _fighting_ , not as much for the metaphor this would suggest, but because we recognise our counter-cultural status, and are not striving to change that (as, say, Stallman does), and our resistance is passive: merely by existing as another way of life than the dominant one. Because I like drawing on whatever I have happened to read in the last 24 hours, I want to liken our position to that of early mammals. Our position is certainly marginal for the time being, but slowly and surely, the world will change, and the monsters and brutes above us should fall into their final decline. In all things, patience.\n\n* * *",
