Mainly from this:
Labeling a guy who doesn't want his labor to be used by a competitor to launch a competing product as "an enemy of open source" is a hell of a leap.
NVK was all for open source when it brought a benefit to his business. Now he's against it because it brings competition. In addition, he constantly attacks his open source competitors. This is incompatible with the open source ethos. It's not a leap at all. Don't put words in my mouth pls.

I'm not sure what words you think I put into your mouth -- I quoted your actual words, and then you just did what I described you as doing. Regardless, you can think whoever you want is an "enemy of open source", I don't care. Go nuts.
But "open source" as a construct is a term that describes a host of licenses, and NVK is both within his rights, and within the normative behavior of the "open source community", to adopt a particular one of those licenses for his business. You don't need to like it, but those are factual statements.
