Gotta love Linus. He blows GE's worldview that GPL advocates are all about politicizing software and pushing a philosophical agenda.
You're wasting your time. You aren't going to change GE's mind.
No matter how many facts can be presented to counter it, we will continue to hear how all GPLers are software communists and stallmanists.
Maybe one day we'll be effective in slipping "torvaldist" into GE's posts, but I doubt it'll be addressed.
See my above post. I was short and to the point, and I know I'm right.
