"I wonder if any of us are up to the task?
"The NRA gives its members a membership card (Ever hear of a
card-carrying member of the NRA?), a newsletter and insurance.
Insurance against accidents caused by the very thing they support:
Guns. Does the Linux Foundation protect us from the very thing that
we support?
""And why would we need protection from Linux?," you ask.

Linux as such a threat to them that they'll try anything to remove
it from store shelves, data centers and even your hard drive.
Paranoia, you say? Is it really?"
