Quoting: CyrilLinus is a good guy? I'm not surprised. :happy:

He tried pretty hard in the early years to establish himself as (his words) 'not a do-gooder. a fundamentally selfish person', etc. (I gather this from his talks and the occasional article; I haven't read the autobiography or anything.) -- Possibly to distance himself from diehard FSF people. Though pretty obviously he's of a different character altogether from both the old-school software tycoons, as well as (heaven forbid) the contemporary crop of so-called 'tech bros'.

btw - if a person is stupid, and *clueless* enough to call the NYT, of all publications—one of the premier 'consent manufacturing' organs of the US Empire & all the financial/military interests bound up with it—'communist', they deserve a much harsher response. You don't get to recycle alex jones level soundbytes to quarrel with Linus.
