I think that's a shame. I remember the original email Linus sent out
(on usenet) about this "new os".

And I think Stallman is head and shoulders above all of them.

He may be mad, and a total 'PITA', but he's 10x the programmer and
visionary.

And I think he deserves a lot more of the credit for the open source
movement. Stallman was working on open source when Linus was still in
grade school.
