GPLv2 affirmation… I don’t generally post here as people have probably noticed, but here’s a pdf of a recent court ruling, and this turns out to be the easiest way for me to link to a copy of it, since I don’t really maintain any web presence normally and I don’t want to post pdf’s to the kernel mailing lists or anything like that. And the reason I want to post about it, is that it basically validates my long-held views that the GPLv2 is about making source code available, not controlling the ac

“Some of you know today as π-day. But the real insiders know that today is the 30th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Linux.”
“Instead of all this “spring forward” stuff, is it ok to instead just sleep in for an extra 23 hours? Asking for a friend.”
“Being the responsible parents we are, we have Carbon Monoxide alarms in the house, because hey, it’s what you do. Right? Of course, they have never gone off (knock wood), so you do tend to forget that they exist at all. Well, yesterday one of those alarms decided that it needed to really remind us that it exists, and that it’s been ten years since we activated it. Because it’s now time to replace it. Of course, nobody was home - except for the dog. Who is now traumatized by that beeping hell-box”
“Staycat.. Oh, look at that - power stayed on. There’s real pleasure in waking up and being able to make oneself a good cup of coffee. Not the disgusting swill I’ve been making my wife on the stove when the power was out.”
“Staycation: day seven. We had power back twice yesterday for a couple of hours each time. The weather and PGE were just teasing us, and I will not consider that a real break in the cold darkness and despair that is being without electricity. But I still have battery power, and while it froze some more overnight and outside is now very slippery, it’s once more above freezing. So frozen pipes remain a thing of the past. End result: I have a handful of pull requests left (most of which came in in t”
“Power came back on again. Will it stay on for the whole night and still be up tomorrow? Your guess is as good as mine.”
“Well that didn’t last long. Do I reset my staycation counter to day one, or do I keep this at day six?”
“.. and ten minutes after posting that, power and internet are back up. RE: https://social.kernel.org/objects/ff709e97-12f1-49d3-9d3c-c57e914f3e52”
“Staycation: day six. To nobody’s surprise, power didn’t come back yesterday, but neighbors report that the tree across the power lines has been cut up. So hopefully the electrical crew can come in and fix the power line. Of course, there may be other issues lurking. We lost power at 5am Saturday morning, and apparently the tree fell a few hours after that. So now there are conflicting theories about where our power is actually fed from. Presumably somebody at PGE knows, but they aren’t telling. ”

“Yo nunca usé el nombre GNU. Linux nunca fue un proyecto de la Free Software Foundation, y la FSF jamás tuvo nada que ver con él.”
“The main reason there are no raw devices [in Linux] is that I personally think that raw devices are a stupid idea. (ang.)”
“Si la FSF quiere llamarlo GNU/Linux, ¿por qué debería preocuparme? Después de todo, no tiene mucho más sentido que el llamarlo como un tipo de sombrero.”
“I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves 'why?'. Hurd will be out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I’ve already got minix. (ang.)”
“If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you’re screwed anyway, and should fix your program. (ang.)”
“If you still don’t like it, that’s ok: that’s why I’m boss. I simply know better than you do. (ang.)”
“My name is Linus Torvalds and I am your god.”
“Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.”
“(…) the Linux philosophy is 'laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong one. 'Do it yourself'. That’s it. (ang.)”
“In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people.”
“Traducción: "Me gustaría decir que sabía que esto iba a pasar, que todo es parte de un plan para dominar el mundo.”
“If you still don't like it, that's OK: that's why I'm boss. I simply know better than you do.”
“Modern PCs are horrible. ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way. But we’re kind of stuck with it. If any Intel people are listening to this and you had anything to do with ACPI, shoot yourself now, before you reproduce. (ang.)”
“Dijkstra probably hates me. (ang.)”
“Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)”
“An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU Emacs would never make a good program.”
“Talk is cheap. Show me the code.”
“Opis: o producentach sprzętu, którzy odmawiają ujawnienia specyfikacji ich urządzeń, by mogły one współpracować z Linuksem.”
“Opis: ogłaszając wydanie Linuksa 0.02.”
“Which mindset is right? Mine, of course. People who disagree with me are by definition crazy. (Until I change my mind, when they can suddenly become upstanding citizens. I’m flexible, and not black-and-white.) (ang.)”
“I’d like to say that I knew this would happen, that it’s all part of the plan for world domination. (ang.)”
“The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.”
“No le presto mucha atención a lo que se hace con otros sistemas operativos. No compito - sólo me preocupa hacer que Linux se supere a sí mismo, no a los otros”
“I'd like to say that I knew this would happen, that it's all part of the plan for world domination.”
“Todos queremos sentirnos relevantes, y pensar que estamos haciendo una diferencia en este mundo. Tener un trabajo donde uno se siente productivo, y saber que el trabajo que uno hace “importa” es un gran desafío.”
“Talk is cheap. Show me the code. (ang.)”
“A lot of people still like Solaris, but I'm in active competition with them, and so I hope they die.”
“Los que pueden, lo hacen; los que no, sólo saben quejarse..”
“Yo lo hago por mis propias razones, otra gente lo hace por sus razones. Creo que el mundo es un lugar complicado, y la gente es un animal interesante que hace cosas por razones complejas. Por ello no creo que debiera haber “una” ideología.”
“I’m a huge believer in evolution (not in the sense that "it happened" – anybody who doesn’t believe that is either uninformed or crazy, but in the sense "the processes of evolution are really fundamental, and should probably be at least thought about in pretty much any context"). (ang.)”
“Traducción: "Si piensas que tus usuarios son idiotas, sólo los idiotas lo usarán.”
“Software is like sex; it's better when it's free.”
