Kenneth Brown (author)
Kenneth P. Brown, Jr. is an American lobbyist and author, and the former president of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (AdTI), a think tank based in Arlington, Virginia.
He is best known for authoring reports critical of Linux and open source software, notably the book Samizdat. While his intended audience were legislators, newspaper editors and talk show hosts, his reports and his book have been strongly criticized in technical circles for their numerous inaccuracies and intentional falsehoods. A number of technology journalists accused him of leading a smear campaign against Linux. The allegations in his articles have been denounced by its subjects, by neutral experts and even by Microsoft, a funder of AdTI and the entity most likely to benefit from Brown's campaign.
