Linus Torvalds

I'm not a fan of 'closed source'.

I'm not a fan of 'DRM'.

I'm not a fan of 'patents on software'.

I'm not a fan of 'copyright maximalism'.

I'm not a fan of 'digital rights management'.

I'm not a fan of 'software patents'.

I'm not a fan of 'intellectual property' as a concept for software.

I'm not a fan of 'open core' models.

I'm not a fan of 'freemium' models.

I'm not a fan of 'cloud computing' as a panacea.

I'm not a fan of 'microservices' for everything.

I'm not a fan of 'containers' for everything.

I'm not a fan of 'serverless' for everything.

I'm not a fan of 'blockchain' for everything.

I'm not a fan of 'AI' as a magic bullet.

I'm not a fan of 'machine learning' as a magic bullet.

I'm an egotistical bastard, and I have my own private agenda, which is to get my name in the history books.

The fact that Linux is a copylefted kernel is a big deal. It means that anybody who makes changes to it and distributes it must also distribute the source code to those changes.

I'm a great believer in 'no surprises'.

The Linux philosophy is 'laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. No, that's 'leave the field of battle to others'. No, no, that's 'look it up in the man page'.
