C'mon, Gene. You can do better. Just /look/ at things before stating
alternative facts.

LWN /is/ a subscription-financed site. But its content is generally
available, has always been. Non-subscribers just "pay" a week's
delay for editorial content. After that, it's accessible to all, no
strings attached.

The "embargo" is, and has been for a long time, just one week. For a
subscriber-sponsored publication (which is very important, because this
means independency from the Big Ones!), this is outstanding, IMHO.
