Linus on KDE vs. GNOME flame wars

Michael sent in a quote from Linus that you all should read. Linus says "Personally, I like KDE better than gnome right now, on the strength of pretty user interface and it working better. I personally use neither, though. I know there has been a lot of silly license flamage, and I don't particularly like it.

My opinion on licenses is that "he who writes the code gets to chose his license, and nobody else gets to complain". Anybody complaining about a copyright license is a whiner.

The anti-KDE people are free to write their own code, but they don't have the moral right to complain about other people writing other code. I despise people who do complain, and I won't be sucked into the argument. But feel free to forward this as you see fit. " Amen. Perhaps I can post stories about KDE or Gnome without rousing a flame war every time?
