I also think the reason that Linus can't stand Richard Stallman is that he reminds Linus of his parents That's a dangerous line of arguing. Why not go one step further and ask what what Stallman is rebelling against (man, that guy's parents must be weird!)? And what are your motivations? Mine? Why the heck are we fighting against industrial giants, and trying to defend rights that 99.9% of the population don't care about? Dr. Freud, please explain! Even if you were right, that would have nothing to say about the validity of Linus' arguments.

The Torvalds Transcript (InformationWeek) Posted Mar 28, 2007 20:30 UTC (Wed) by malor (subscriber, #2973) [Link] Well, I can't talk about barbara's idea, as I don't know anything about his past in that regard.
I CAN, however, see that the arguments he presents are largely based in 'don't trust Richard Stallman', and that's why I made the observations I did. I don't he likes Stallman, and I can't blame him: Stallman's GNU/Linux name grab made ME furious, and I'm not even one of the people in the project.
Regardless, I think it's a bad reason to try to sabotage GPLv3. I don't KNOW that that's the reason, but it sure looks likely to me, given their past and the way he's framing his arguments.
I mean, he couldn't use the GPLv3 even if he wanted to, so why try to mess it up for everyone else?
The Torvalds Transcript (InformationWeek) Posted Mar 29, 2007 9:13 UTC (Thu) by wilck (subscriber, #29844) [Link] I can't see that Linus is trying to "sabotage" GPLv3. He says that he doesn't like it, and that he won't adopt it if key parts of its current draft for remain unchanged. Why shouldn't he?
