Some interesting ideas in there. But overall I find it's just another propaganda mouthpiece article bashing Linux and Open source in general. It's kinda subtle but really, the article doesn't have anything useful for me other than complaining the some of Linus's comments don't seem to add up. But, If you were to put those comments into the context they were originally expressed, rather than forcing them into the context of the premise of this article, they would problem make more sense.
As for who speaks for "Linux", well there's only one opinion that matters to me regarding what Linux is or should be. Mine. If it does the job for me and meets my criteria, I don't really care what Linus, BillyG, or anyone else thinks about it. It's nice that there are a good number of folks out there who happen to have similar needs to my own though.. :) My thoughts.
