>What Bruce Byfield writes is true more of GNU than of Linux, isn't it?

What the lwn introduces as "Linux" is the "GNU/Linux" that Byfield discusses.  AFAICT, Byfield
does not mention the Linux kernel.

>My understanding was that Linus has been and continues to be less of an idealogue and more of
a pragmatist.

I suppose, but I do not see the connection to the article.
