It is. So not really that great, imo. Just another rent seeking behavior to force a current subscription.

Don't get me wrong, I'm certain it scratches an itch many people have, just the fact they put it in the cloud is a hell of a lot of needless complexity and antiuser.

Although I also read and was influenced by The Cathedral and The Bazaar shortly after it was published, I find it difficult to recommend, given that ESR went off the deep end. The book is a good interesting read, just get a PDF of it and don't go digging.

I mean, Snowden is, as I understand it, a libertarian idiot, but I think what he uncovered was extremely important, and the fact that he sold other secrets to the Russians in exchange for asylum, while certainly not great, is understandable considering that the alternative for him was rotting in solidarity confinement in an awful a federal hellhole prison.
