This is almost as good as the insane letter circulated by SCO in 2004 that claimed that the GNU General Public License is unconstitutional.

I don’t have the heart to tell them that some of their member orginization are running their web servers on open source platforms.

Strictly speaking, that should be, “Every time you hum to a paying audience, you’re taking bread from the mouths of musicians.”
