Yes this does smell a bit of "maybe GNU has a point" doesn't it but good for Linus for acknowledging that a problem exists and taking the first steps to fixing it.

The strange thing is that it's not about "GNU has a point" (of course GNU does but it's other story). It's about who to ask abots this or that change when something goes wrong (I do not mean legally).

and there was me thinking it was everything to do with the legal issues...that'd be why Linus referred to SCO in his email wouldn't it?
