Why, yes it does, IMO.  In fact ... [snaps fingers] you appear to have
rediscovered a centuries-old argument, and the single biggest problem
many of us Protestants have with Roman Catholic doctrine & practice.

Well, if it really is just his hobby, then he shouldn't be chanting the "World
Domination" mantra.  Either Linux belongs to Linus, in which case it's
irrelevant outside his personal world, or it is a tool for all computer users.
If Linus really doesn't care who uses his OS, then he should not be encouraging
community participation, and he shouldn't be accepting speaking engagements at
major conventions where business users attend to decide whether Linux is for
them or not.

Hm. Does that apply also to all the statues of saints, the virgin
mother and all those crosses with Jesus that you find in churches,
hanging off people's necks and in some places on every street corner?

Aw, Tigran, give the kid his hobby, OK? We can try to bang some
sense into his head and suggest ways his hobby could offer more
satisfaction from good results achieved and make it more fun for
the rest of us. But this IS his model train setup we're playing on. So

use and everything else, as well.

Timur,
 Well, if it really is just his hobby, then he shouldn't be chanting the "World
 Domination" mantra.  Either Linux belongs to Linus, in which case it's
 irrelevant outside his personal world, or it is a tool for all computer users.
 If Linus really doesn't care who uses his OS, then he should not be
encouraging
 community participation, and he shouldn't be accepting speaking engagements at
 major conventions where business users attend to decide whether Linux is for
 them or not.
