- "First among equals" undermines community, says LinusSugarCRM and Proprietary Open SourceLinus has put it beautifully, as ever. Not a point of view that Mr. Stallman would approve of no doubt, but I suspect Linus is OK with that, as am I. Another good example of an Open Source project with...

- Can linus pass on his media power?
- A few days ago I wrote a piece about how Linus Torvalds wants only to be a programmer, and applauded him for that. (Picture from OregonLive.)It drew some angry response. The implication was that Linus has no choice, he must be the spokesman, that's practically his name on the box.There's...

- Paula's piece on Linus Torvalds not doing LinuxWorld hit me at a peculiar time.I was trying to reconcile Sun's current rah-rah support for open source with Linus' posts which continue to show his distrust of the company, leading to Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz' famous dinner invitation.The answer is simple. Linus is...

- Sugar sweet for GPLv3
- Sugar sweet for GPLv3Objections to GPLv3There are legitimate objections to GPLv3, such as its increased complexity. This license modernization was designed not by an individual as with past versions, but by the feedback of the large economy built around it, so the additional complexity was inevitable.Linus' primary opposition...

- linus vs. the GPLv3
- Linus Torvalds is like my mama.As in, when mama ain't happy, ain't no one happy. (Picture from Wikimedia Commons.)Right now, Linus ain't happy, not at all. Especially about GPLv3. He considers the anti-Tivoization provisions in the new license, which keep you from crippling hardware containing software using the license, to...
