Only MOSTLY FUD... (Score 1)

There's a lot of FUD there. I think Berst does make one good point- factionalism. I'd hate to see Linux go the way of the pretty recent *nix seperatism (SCO, BSD, etc.) The reliance on a central kernel which cannot be modified privately cuts down on this, but really.... how long before we've got a RedHat kernel against a Debianized kernel against S.U.S.E. with an exclusive license to Netscape 2000 or some such nonsense? It's not inconceivable... until people start suing each other over breaking the GPL instead of just badmouthing violations...
