GPL enforcer bemoans code quality
,----[ Quote ]
| "The code quality is usually extremely bad. Looking at kernel
| patches from the various vendors, I'd say the code quality is, by
| far, off any scale that would ever even remotely be considered to
| be suitable for upstream inclusion" in the code base of mainstream
| projects such as Linux, he said. The commercial programmers spend
| no time making sure code will be portable to different varieties
| of processors, including 32-bit and 64-bit chips, and will work
| on multiprocessor machines.

| "This code is 'throw-away software,'" Welte said. "I would be
| the most embarrassed man if I ever was involved with any such
| software. Having your name associated with such poor quality
| would be like a stigma. Any technical person would laugh.
