Linux Foundation chief: 'You are an idiot' if you don't give back to open source

Taking without contributing back to the upstream project defeats the benefit of open source and sooner or later, all open source users realize this, contends Jim Zemlin. So the time for cajoling those users -- even commercial projects like Ubuntu leader Canonical -- into participating is over.
