Microsoft doesn't give you Windows for free. We wrote BK from scratch, unlike any of the distro vendors, so saying they give out their stuff for free isn't a valid comparison either.
We built a product, we gave out for free to help the kernel, everyone agrees it is helping, and we get constantly attacked. You might stop to consider that the smartest thing we could do would be to give up but the cost of giving up is slowing down kernel development and contributing to Linus' burnout.
I agree with Mark's statement, this sucks. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
