The whole "redundant effort" argument sounds a lot like what some commercial UNIX vendors were saying regarding Linux development, circa 1997-1998. They, too, neglected to mention that there was already "redundancy" among the commercial UNIX vendors (HP-UX, Solaris/SunOS, AIX, SCO, Tru64, etc). Good response!
