[GTALUG] Linus Torvalds Responds to Linux Banning University of Minnesota

[ac]

It is EVIL to represent yourself as something you are not.

I am sure there are many who would like to see the operating system
which drives the Internet, FAIL on a desperate and massive scale.

It is EVIL to knowingly sabotage open source in this manner.

I hope and wish that ALL Opens Source Programmers BAN University of
Minnesota for LIFE.

I am sure that there are many Nation States or LARGE corporations that
has, in the past, infiltrated many open source projects in this same
fashion and I am sure that they are all EVIL for the damage and
destruction they cause to human freedom on a planetary scale.

Deception, power, control and narcissistic. Hire these types of people?

Hell No!

They, and their institution, are now known worldwide for being
ethically challenged.
