I think the GPL guy was referring to Linus Torvalds being called an Open Source poster boy. A bit demeaning.

Excuse me, but I am not sure I have completely understood what you are saying. Alas, English is not my primary language.
I think SlashGear does a truly wonderful work and I really admire all of the authors, but I also think they publish too much articles containing errors (generally grammar errors or typos). I know it is hard to write many articles a day and to be sure they all are right (I myself am an author for a blog), but some more care should be taken about the fact articles are correct both in form and content: SlashGear is widely known all around the world, so they must think about all of us non-English readers (as an example, I am Italian).
I was maybe a bit too rude, I concede it, but my intentions were good.
Sorry for my bad English!

I would like to see the author try and call Jobs the Closed Source Posterboy.
