Re: [PATCH] lib: add statsort(), a distribution/bucket sort

Hi Jon & others,

>> OK, good luck with that.  The kernel does not add code to support

I want this idea to go to Linux Kernel and not be proprietary, but I
want to make sure Microsoft and Facebook copy cats don't import this
idea into their Windows and their other own operating systems and
continue forcing their ways on others thanks to their still large
user base. I am not worried about Google, as it's in their best
interest to get this code into Linux as they are heavy users &
contributors to Linux.

There are at least three future scenarios:
1. Someone gives me 750$ + 250$ for filing preliminary patent, so there
would be a trap to slow down Microsoft and Facebook and I will file
prelimiary patent with Linux community, wait for a week for dust to
settle and share my idea.
2. Someone gives a seed to my start-up Milky Winf:

and as soon as the invetment hits my bank account, I will share my idea
on this thread and let Linux community deal with Microsoft and Facebook.
3. Work around and let this idea live on my off-internet laptop without
wifi and network card...

I always appreciate feedback especially from Linux veterans :). I am
answering and we are still having a discussion, so I do not really
understad why you believe I am not interested in yours and others
opinions.

Maybe you should look up definition of word Liberty and how it aligns
with Linux community. But feel free to ignore me if you wish to do so.

>> You don't get to tell me what I should do, sorry.

I never force anyone to do anything unless they want to do it themselves. Don't
expect me to force you into anything today, nor in future days.

People can lie, so what's the point:

I will cite David Archuleta's song's lyrics 'OK, all right'
