Re:开源对社会的影响
That one "begins at 198x" is _free software movement_, not "open source" campaign. The founder's name is Richard Stallman (who is the original author of GCC, Emacs, GNU Make and many other excellent programs but not the kernel Linux) and the year is 1983.
The "open source" campaign is started by Eric Raymond in 1998, which is intended to be a "marketing campaign" of free software (i.e., get the support of big companies instead of hard-core hacker community). They are different things, the free software one is intended to defend users' rights to use, share and change the software, and the "open source" one just want to get popularity and "success" which is defined as "being used by many people".
see these pages for details about the free software movement:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy
and for "open source" campaign:
http://www.opensource.org
Also I don't think some "supporters" of "Linux" (who are mostly keeping flaming others on forums) you mentioned are actually using & really supporting "Linux", they just want to be "cool", which I don't actually like either.
PS. Many people tends to define free software as "anti-microsoft" or something like that. However, after reading the articles at gnu.org carefully you'll find that's not true. The free software movement is against a popular behavior rather than a "religious" campaign or something like that.
