I agree. I am trying to make the point (badly, it seems) that business will do what business whats to do, if the Government allows them to. We (the people) should be able to direct government as to the things we would or wouldn't like

Linus and Lennart both are opinionated and tend to be pretty convinced that they're right. I am as amused as the next person by Linus' occasional invective on LKML, although I think it is sometimes a bit over the top. The differ

People are building these solutions: PulseAudio, systemd, NetworkManager, libuv, Xorg, SELinux, OpenSSH because they are forced to do so. How old are you? OpenSSH wasn't built because there was something wrong with Linux per-se, in f
