LINUS HAS AN OPEN VIEW
Linux creator Linus Torvalds was a surprise face in the crowd at a low-key
technical conference in Perth last week. FRAN[K? :-] SPENCER caught up with
the publicity-shy Finn for his views on open source adoption, Microsoft
monopolies and penguins.

the effect of US intellectual property laws']
[Large bold quote: `If you're the dominant player it's really hard to attack
something that's done by people who just like doing it.']
[2/3 of page 31 full of very positive text, only one obvious blooper (says
Linus did not copyright code), not time to type it in just now, but this is
worth quoting:]
"It's not an anatomically correct penguin, it looks more like Daffy Duck
had a wild night out with a penguin," he [Linus] said.
Cheers; Leon
