Hmm, let's see:
    Linux     - nope, single manager: Linus
    Perl      - nope, single mangaer: Jarkko
    fetchmail - nope, single manager: ESR
    BIND      - nope, single manager: Paul Vixie
    Python    - nope, single manager: Guido
    gs        - nope, single manager: Raph
    GIMP      - nope, single manager: Manish Singh
    PHP       - nope, single manager: Rasmus
    XEmacs    - nope, single manager: (Who is it this week, Vin Shelton?)

them from the wild into captivity, where he trains them to fight, and
then fights them to the death against other people's pokemon. Doesn't
this remind you of say, cock fighting?
