If there is a problem with the license, pretending otherwise doesn't seem very sustainable to me. Shooting the messenger might make the mob feel better, but that doesn't make it justified.
That article, and most of its reader comments, mildly sickens me. I love Apple, but that doesn't mean I have to approve of DRM. It's crazy to see everyone piling on Rémi when Apple made the decision to use DRM and thereby exclude a whole category of OSS projects. A license is a license, and if DRM is prohibited, there's not much wiggle room. I feel sorry for Rémi, as he'll probably now be subjected to dozens of misguided angry emails.
if someone gives you a better offer, can i have your defense job? sounds pretty cushy to me
