"In an attack on pro open saucers, Negroponte slammed "the
fundamentalism in some of the open-source community" and reckoned that
by pushing the free, open-sauce software on OLPC XOs, the company was
scaring people away. "One can be an open-source advocate without being
an open-source fundamentalist" he snarled."
Wow... I really thought the OLPC was real special because of the open
source OS that it was running.. Now I'm just not sure how I feel about
these guys.

Anyone know if this is true? I do not know much about the web site I
read this on.
