This is just petty. Zed made some reasonable arguments -- for acknowledgement and the release of modified code -- for his choice in licenses. I actually disagree with his choice, but it's his to make.
This is a dim attempt at humour — apparently based on some perceived arrogance. That particular perception is a form of hype in my opinion. Some folks seem driven to judge his words more critically because of all the blog-fights and threads on reddit/hacker-news, rather than addressing what is actually being argued.
I think that Zed is great (not that I know him personally), and find this little piece of satire to be hilarious as well. I don't see why the two positions have to be mutually exclusive... and I don't get the impression that it was actually written in anger.
