If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.

I changed the Linux copyright license to be the GPL some time in the first half of 1992. Mostly because I had hated the lack of a cheaply and easily available UNIX when I had looked for one a year before.

Part of doing Linux was that I had to communicate a lot more instead of just being a geek in front of a computer.

Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.

I started Linux because I wanted to see it on the desktop... I do hope that the desktop people would try to work together ... and work more on the technology than trying to make the login screen look really nice.

I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.

I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.
