But beyond that he never in particular cared for open source software development. He uses it where it's helpful, where it's practical. He doesn't use it out of an ideological point of view.
And that's fair, but I think people should be made more aware of the fact that linus was never the face of the gpl, open source development or any particularly linked idea or view. He is simply the kernel guy.
