The last thing that Linux > needs is someone who doesn't care if Linux succeeds or fails. "I don't > care" will lead to failure. I actually care about Linux certainly more than you do. I care about the copyright of my kernel contributions and the contributions of others. Not caring about these things is what is the worst. It means you disrespect all the work that a lot of people and companies have put into Linux. And don't quote we with "I don't care". Alan already complained about your quoting style. Don't put words in my mouth that I never said. The Linux kernel is licensed under GPL. If you don't like, go and play with someone else. You can quote me on that one. Regards Marcel
