Well, I already tried commenting here, but my browser was not obbeying me =(
Hope this time it works.
So, I already had commented here in the forum that when linux grew big enough
to "matter", big enough to have many people using it, probably Linus and
other people would have been contacted in order to develop ways for those
people to still be under control ESPECIALLY making them thinking they were
not. Now, some people here say it was a joke. Well, I don't believe it was,
but the only way to be sure would be to have had someone asking "okay, did
you made any backdoors?" "would you do so if they asked you to?", and even so
we would not know what was the truth. I believe it was a risk for Linus to
say what he said, because if he is under a gag order, he probably had trouble
because he raised suspicion. I don't like people who cooperate with the Govs
but if he had no other choice, having said what he said would be a brave act
in itself. So, I don't think it was a joke, but I don't know what to make of
it... and him.
Thanks fernando for the information.
