Too right.
I suppose the claimed DOS event that he is talking about was the 
article from Eric Raymond condemning the attack. I haven't seen 
evidence of any others.

I just hope he makes enough from liquidating his SCOG  shares that he 
doesn't need to work again, because I wouldn't even buy a burger from 
him without checking my change and counting my fingers. But I doubt 
even Microsoft would touch him, assuming he is not their Manchurian 
candidate.

I'd support his right to continue doing these interviews, though. Every 
word he says can, has and will be used against him in a court of law.

[newbie] CNN interviews McBride

[JoeHill]

If you didn't want to power-nail this guy to a plank already, you will now.

O'BRIEN: Well, I guess you're right, in the sense that this wild west analogy,
carrying that on, it's a frontier with no jurisdictional borders, right?
Whatever laws apply, wherever you happen to be standing are what might apply.
Nevertheless it might not apply where you are being affected.

MCBRIDE: I think that's exactly the case. With the new Linux system, it's very
interesting, because it's very open, anybody around the world can participate,
anybody can use it.

But what happens when you have a problem inside the system? Because there are no
boundaries and no control systems, the mechanism's built into Linux. Then you
have this type of behavior when you have a problem actually pop up.
