I saw the article on Eclipse and I think it's good.  The article points out
that one purpose is to push open systems like Linux so as to undermine MS
and Sun in IBM"S own predatory way.  Otherwise it notes that the Internet
has become an OS like system that needs standards and that Eclipse is for
that.  But what is GNU for?  How many places do we need for open systems and
source code?  Perhaps the more the merrier.
