Ask Alan Cox, Activist · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Roblimo on Monday May 6, 2002 @04:00AM from the fighting-the-good-fight dept.

Alan Cox is one of the world's most famous Linux kernel hackers. Lately he's been speaking out quite a bit on issues like copyright law, software patents, and the future of Linux, and has generally become a bit more politically active, at least in the public eye, than he was in the past. Slashdot interviewed Alan back in 1999. Lots of things have changed since then, but our interview procedure hasn't; one question per post, we send 10 of the highest-moderated ones to Alan, and post his answers verbatim as soon as he gets them back to us.

...I can't think of anything more boring and done-to-death to waste one of the 10 questions on.
