Me trying to make a business around Linux would have been a total disaster.

I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.

Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is "right" or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's not go there. We don't base our morality on law.

I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.

The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.

The bulk of all patents are crap. Spending time reading them is stupid. It's up to the patent owner to do so, and to enforce them.

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.
