Linus isn't too hot on the DRM angle, and I think he's right. Hopefully his comments will have some weight in the draft process.

Quote of the day for over-the-top OSS zealots:

We are not crusaders, trying to force people to bow to our superior God. We are trying to show others that co-operation and openness works better.

This view is why Linus and RMS don't get along.

The GPL saved Linux from forking the way *nix did... now the GPL is forking.

Should have known the kooks were going to find a way to derail a good thing.

Hopefully Linus has the weight to get the legions behind him. I imagine most of the commercial distros will agree, but not so sure about Debian.
