The *reason* for doing “tit-for-tat”. Quote: “the freedom to make our own choices!” The differences between rms/FSF and Linus. Quote: “Hot air doesn’t make the world go round. Real code does.”

You can not agree to disagree. Quote: We can agree to disagree as to our opinions, if you want.

Linus explains “quid pro quo” or “tit-for-tat with forgiveness”! The GPLv2 is a legal Document. Quote: “I think Tivoization is *good*”.

Linus in Ninja suit, sneaked into the FSF offices. What does “Mere aggregation” mean? Quote: “the GPLv3 is a _worse_license_ than GPLv2”.

Leave the last decision to the judge. Quote: “Intent only matters if the contract reading itself isn’t otherwise clear! The difference between “preamble” and “terms and conditions”. If it is a license or a contract does not matter. Red Hat owns the “compilation copyright” of their distribution.

Read the GPL license before you argue with Linus. He is not stupid so he can predict his actions. Who is the owner of the individual bits of the Kernel? Is the proprietary kernel module from Nvidia a derived work or not? By US courts distributing is not about downloading but about making the download available! Interesting, should you lock out bad uses? Linus is nitpicking and pointing out his role as “Primus inter Pares“. Caveat Emptor. Quote: “So the very *definition* of the word “Program” is indeed limited by the notion of “derived work” – as defined by copyright law, and NOT the GPLv2.”
