This website is absolutely not trustworthy.  The person behind it posts
made-up articles and fake information often times.  I confronted him
once or twice before, but he's got an agenda and conspiracy theories to
make him feel good about what he's doing, so it's hard (a.k.a. useless)
to argue.

Unfortunately he's very vocal in the community, which IMHO is
detrimental to those who are actively trying to promote the Free
Software ideals.
