Do i care! or do you care.
Credit is all he wants. He is getting too much of it. People call him pope of Free software! and then he rants on in his interview that 'they' are forgotten.
It is rather that 'he' is forgotten not 'they'.
And i really think its not really gonna come out this year. Its been long since hurds coming out.

Crikey. Don't post on level 2 when you're just too dumb/tired to understand what he's saying.
Quite simply : In the west, we only care about linux because it's cheap. In India, they care because it's Free as in Speech and they consider that a good thing.
Stop the brainwash
The software industry is dead: development has become the equivalent of amateur radio, a hobby declining as its participants age and die. Who is going to use this thing?
Quite wrong (rather completly actually). BSD license is NOT a safe haven for businesses to *share* commodity code. It does a company a disservice to add value that can be repackaged/modified/hidden by their competitor. BSD's failure is UNIX's failure. GPL licenese allows a company to add value knowing that a 3rd party cannot *ever* remove that value via repackage/modify/hide.
IMHO GPL is always the better license.
Any company that plans to make money entirly upon software sales is doomed to failure. 60-80% of software cost is maintenence. So the value position in software is to sell SUPPORT contracts. You can give/sell the software *at cost* and still make more on support -- even if the software is so perfect as to never need any support at all.
No no, you forget, RMS has declared the new new official name of Linux to just be "GNU."
