Bloody hell my grammar was atrocious in this post...need moawr caffeine...

Theo is only head of OpenBSD, which if you use you're probably only really in for the security anywhere.
As the AC said, Theo and Linus have nothing to do with the argument about licenses..Linus even less so considering he's a kernel dev and has barely anything to with GNU/GPL/FSF etc.

What school has to ask the bloody child for the contact details for their parent? They're supposed to have all contact details on file in case of an emergency.
If she was involved in an accident and was sent to the hospital how would they exercise duty of care and contact her parents if she were unconscious?

It sounds more like another case of over-reacting American school teachers.

Don't blame the package manager because you don't know how to configure options on the package. ;)

Mod parent up, as they're right and I'm wrong. ;)

It wasn't the government, it was the IWF (www.iwf.org.uk) who are actually an independant charity.

(quoted from their about page)
"We are an independent self-regulatory body, funded by the EU and the wider online industry."
"We work with UK government to influence initiatives developed to combat online abuse and this dialogue goes beyond the UK and Europe to ensure greater awareness of global issues, trends and responsibilities."
"IWF is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee. Charity No. 1112398."

Joke would've worked better if Linus's name were in fact Linux.
