Journal yanestra's Journal: Moralist and mystic Bruce Perens

When the recent talk started about SCO's letter on Bruce Perens' comments...

The Linux developers have a legal right to make use of the code under that license. No violation of SCO's copyright or trade secrets is taking place.
In this case, there was an error in the Linux developer's process (at SGI), and we lucked out that it wasn't worse. It turns out that we have a legal right to use the code in question, but it doesn't belong in Linux and has been removed.

...I couldn't help but again asking about Bruces mental sanity.
Really, I have no idea how he can devaluate code for some questionable reasons, giving SCO a wonderful chance to misquote him.
Bruce is not exactly a programmer genius, and for whatever reason he thinks other people's code has been erroneously integrated into the Linux kernel, it is in no way a technical or juridical reason. It can only be the odor of moral malfunction...
It is the perfect comment; it will later on be used at the courts, as it is a declaration of moral failure of the Linux community.

Thank you Bruce. Next time think before you talk.
