 Permalink for comment 449799 Member since:  Linux is Linus's
kernel. He can do with it what he pleases. FSF doesn't have a
working, widely used, & widely successful kernel. If they don't
like how he manages HIS kernel project, then they can find
another kernel to piggy-back off of. Or maybe they can use their
own kernel. No, I guess they can't, since their kernel seems to
be quite a bit stuck in the "All talk, no action" phase. Then I
guess that means that they should shut up & sit down. If they
made Linus mad enough, it's possible that he could remove future
versions of the kernel from FSF space by changing the kernel's
license. I doubt it would hurt him as much as it would hurt
them. And before anybody gets butt-hurt over me calling it FSF
instead of FSFLA, you should keep in mind that FSFLA is just a
branch FSF.  Edited 2010-11-12 20:07 UTC  Reply Score: 1
