Re: [News] Linus Torvalds Equates Software Licences to Politics


Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

> I personally feel (but I could be very wrong) that Linus fears a

> "Linux" (not just the kernel) to Stallman, the [FSF] and the GNU GPL.

A true Free Software developer wouldn't care. He wouldn't think of it as
"my software". It's our software, especially after so many contributions
from others.

> It could affect finding from mega corporations.

Why?

> It takes a village...

This is something Torvalds seems to have forgotten.
