Who cares what Linus Torvalds thinks? Is he a lawyer? No! Does he understand European politics? No! Is he a successful businessman? No!

Did he kick off a really useful concept in computer programming? Yes.

Taking legal advice from Linus Torvalds would be like getting your suits made by David Beckham!
