There is a huge problem with your comparison, in that any 'terror 
network' is going to do 'bad' things, it's just they have different 
definitions of acceptable 'bad.'

OS developers are doing good things.  On occasion, you get some 
misguided soul who thinks that doing a 'bad' thing is the right thing, 
but the comparison is completely unfair to the whole movement.

I personally am quite disappointed that your message will now be found 
in the archives, as it will be fodder for more OS FUD....
