So Welte is a 30-something who thinks his $hit doesn't stink...big deal.
Wow..."Harald Welte has more power than I do, power he has earned over many years with good works."

Power? Is that something that makes him special? I doubt it.

Is power something that impresses you Dana? I feel sorry for you if it does.

He puts his pants on one leg at a time...just like everyone else. He's no more special than anyone else.

And what's with this GPL licensing any way? I thought the whole idea behind Linux was to have it open to the masses, and let the masses do with it whatever they chose. At least that is what Torvalds had in mind when he "invented" it. So why the license in the first place? I thought the Linux universe was supposed to be Utopian...where everyone played nice-nice with each other...shared code and sang merrily. I guess not. Seems just as perverted as the Windows/Apple universe.
