so you're saying that this would make them admit that Linux
does have free documentaion? and they're going to talk
about the LDP, sparking interest in the project? they're going
to expose that Linux isn't perfectly secure? they'll blame Linux
for being honest in saying that the software isn't perfect?
i'm not sure if that publicity is good or bad.
their FUD will live on, regardless if Linux feeds it or not.
