I've heard it, and I personally use OpenBSD much more than I use Linux. There's a whole different discussion to be had about the differences between the BSD and Linux models, and why Linux has soared and the BSDs have not. At any rate, I suspect that, despite recent fireworks on the OpenBSD mailing lists, Stallman and Theo de Raadt agree much more fundamentally about the threat posed by patents and licensing than, say, Stallman and Torvalds.
While I generally agree, I find Theo's positions much more consistent an principled than RMS's, although to Stallman's credit he gave the FSF award to Theo some years back for all the amazing work the OpenBSD people have done on opening up hardware specs and so on.
Theo is also contrary to general opinion a really cool and friendly guy, and often (but not always) when he acts like a jerk is because somebody deserves it.
Maybe, but wouldn't you hate a company that pulls every dirty trick to harm you, your reputation, your business and that is absolutely committed to extend its monopoly by destroying everything you worked so hard to help create?
And, BTW, to replace your beautiful creations with the crappiest code seen on Earth?
