Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.

With software, you really can replicate and do a lot of very real and active development in parallel, and actually try it out and see what works.

I've felt strongly that the advantage of Linux is that it doesn't have a niche or any special market, but that different individuals and companies end up pushing it in the direction they want, and as such you end up with something that is pretty balanced across the board.

People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.

Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU emacs would never make a good program.

I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'
