So explain to me why the Linux people don't flex those muscles?  Could be
that the GPL makes such that the only relevent "flexing" is hacking?  It's
funny how in the Linux world respect is according pretty much where it
belongs but in the BSD world there are many examples of disconnects.
Authority where should be none, and no authority where there should be.

If you were hacking on Linux, Theo, you would get the respect you want
based on the ccode that you wrote.  End of story.

Some recently pointed out to me that BSD is like religion - there are
the Catholics and they hate the Protestants.  And there are many little
spin off religions forming that hate everyone else.  I thought it an
apt comparison.
