Critics in the free software movement have accused Raymond of 
"hijacking" the free software movement. His rejection of the moral and 
ethical arguments of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation 
in favor of a less idealistic (though arguably more pragmatic) 
market-friendly stance has stoked political tensions in the community.
