Now, I ask you, is this right? "Open" group develops software that these
people can sell for a fortune.  They pay "membership" fees that are
prohibitive for most other people. 

Look at what they own:

Unix
Motif
CDE

and now

X11

I have seen the enemy, and they are us.

We need to kill Open Group before we go after Microsoft.

Open Group is doing more than anyone else to hurt Unix and its
cousins.
