Yes, I know. CK recently left. Apparently he argued that his work hadn't
received proper recognition. Linus seems like a hard person to work with if
you ask me. Alan Cox, on the other hand... [see links at bottom]

| to keep the software free, if it fails to do this then it needs
| fixing, so GPLv3 hopefully will fix this flaw.
