Why, by Joerg of course, with his magic telepathy helmet which enables him to tell exactly how long people he doesn't know have been using Linux, and lets him determine exactly how broken all patches written by other people are without even looking at them, and his great genius which enables him to tell exactly how Linux must work (i.e., exactly like Solaris), regardless of what any of those fools who actually *wrote* it may think. How could you possibly think anything else? Nothing else would be *rational*. You of course should not respond until you agree with Joerg in all matters. (I was wondering how Joerg managed to unilaterally impose new licensing terms on cdrecord without going through lots of trouble asking all the other contributors. I guess I know now: there *are* no other contributors, because nobody else can bear to work with him.)
