Not all no, there are large disperse groups and there is real
fragmentation involved. Most of the opensource developers etc all know
each other work together etc, but there are significant numbers of
others who know nothing of development, open source etc and have been
led up the path that open source is bad and opens up hacking and
greifing and content theft.

Its this that grinds me most, that miss-information has taught these
people that opensource= at best the wacky liberal left where everything
is free and copyright has no place, to worst just down right evil.

Some yes, some have built businesses that make real money so i can
understand concern

Some are yes, again very wide and disperse user base.
