Re: [News] [Linux] Torvalds Likes Tivoization, GPLv3 Misconceptions Rebutted

He used some "Humpty-dumpty" and Alice and Wonderland analogy/fable to refer to

never forget where he came from. GNU might be nowhere without Linux, but
without GNU, Linus had no chance. 15% of Debian is GNU. Linux is only 3%.
Without Linus, GNU would have gotten Hurd off the ground more quickly. It's
about momentum. Just look at *BSDs...

The Linux community is quite  the fickle bunch.
So when does the "Boycott Linus Torvalds" web site go up?
Maybe if you hurry you can still reserve www.linusisatraitor.com.
You need to learn what respect for your superiors means and possibly have some gratitude for the hard work and dedication that people like Linus have done.Exactly how do you compare in the scheme of things? It goes right back to everything is ok as long as it's *our vision* of how things concerning Linux should progress. That doesn't sound like freedom to me. It sounds more like Communisim where you have one vote per citizen but only one candidate to vote for.
