Alliterations aside, the only "myth" is in Hilf's own brain. There may be some developers out there who wore tye-dye t-shirts, travel in Winnebago vans, and had a taste for the tree, but there were just as many buttoned up developers that have never listened to the Grateful Dead once.
And I love this line from that article: Hilf said that the Linux phenomenon had nothing to do with Linux, but rather it had a lot to do with Apache, MySQL and PHP. It was those applications which pulled Linux up with it, the "Visual Basic of open source."
