Here's an email from Phil Kaplan stating his views of the offer to license Linux.
I thought Slashdot would be a good place to post this.

The only thing funny about this email and your comments has to do with physiology. I am
amazed and astounded that your brain is able to generate enough electrical energy to make your
fingers move to type this. I am not with Canopy, I am with Bryan Sparks, the person who founded
the first Linux company. We want to buy out of the GPL. If you can't see this or figure it
out then you are acting like a "retard".
