Open Source Initiative bans co-founder, Eric S Raymond

Well, I attempted to post this to Linux News the other day and either it has not been reviewed or was not found to be news worthy, so here goes:

Quote:

Last week, Eric S Raymond (often known as ESR, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, and co-founder of the Open Source Intiative) was banned from the Open Source Intiative (the "OSI"). Specifically, Raymond was banned from the mailing lists used to organize and communicate with the OSI. For an organization to ban their founder from communicating with the group (such as via a mailing list) is a noteworthy move.
