Total freedom means total isolation.

The community nature of GNU/Linux has the ring of an origin myth to it.  
Furthermore, to the extent that that myth is true, Linux is dying of its own 
success.  Linux has become MUCH too valuable to be left to the limited 
resources and self-imposed isolation that characterize pure community driven 
libertyware projects and movements.
