I mean, just google anytime he talks about security or licensing. And, frankly, people more expert on, say, C, than Torvalds, are dime a dozen. Okay, a large heap of dimes, but still. They just tend to swear less, and in the OP you can see them defering to him to deescalate the situation.
- mort96 8y agoIt's not interesting to argue about who's "more expert". If Linus is just "slightly expert", that's very far away from having no idea what he's talking about. My claim wasn't that Linus was the "expertest" C programmer in the world. I'm neither an expert in security nor in licensing, most of the things I've heard him say about either sounds pretty reasonable. Could you link to an example where he talks out of his ass, and explain why what he's saying is stupid? Both licensing and security strikes me as the kind of thing the author of the world's most used FOSS kernel has thought a lot about.
