Linus and Linux as a political tool (jeferson.me)

In my view, all software is political in one way or another. Also, when software makes an attempt to be "politically neutral", in doing so it is making a political point.

So let's pick the Linus questionable part regarding the not a Social Warrior place, and I feel that it is time to either think about it or talk about it.

All feedback is welcomed.

You should probably make it more clear that you're linking to your own blog if you're going to yap about politicization

Usually I try to avoid linking my person to the post.
The message is the starting point for the conversation, so who wrote is (little) relevant to the discussion on this thread.
