Linux and Linus have alot more that need to be addressed besides who owns what - given the scrap up on the kernel discussion list, all those who do sit in 'key roles' need to take a class in human resource management - because they seem to think that everyone who contributes should be constantly willing to accept abuse and taunting from the 'greater leader'. That doesn't even get to the heart of it; lack of planning for instance; when you re-write your USB stack over 3 times, one really has to ask - what the hell is happening? didn't any of these people take a system design and analysis class let along a basic programming class which emphasised the need for the paper work to be done before commencing writing code?
