You just prove that guy's point. Ironically, as with everything else - 
any "don't read it" plea has exactly the opposite effect.

My observation is that the typical "Russian soul" kind of 
thinking/expression is pretty much incomprehensible in the "western" 
world. Some real gems are often ignored/lost because of this. As is, by 
the way the concept of "Intelligentsia" which is in the core of that 
particular article.

The author rightly points out that the different licensing models and 
the resulting different culture (of development, administration, usage) 
in the Linux and BSD worlds is the result of different perception and 
values. The different knowledge and understanding of the .. world too, 
plays a role. It's just like with how humans grow trough their life, you 
have one set of values as a child, other as young/adult and yet another 
as a senior person.
