I've sent this to both debian-devel and debian-project. Please remove
debian-devel from follow-ups.

Debian isn't the only place distributing Linuxkernel but Does Linus
have a problem controling Linux?
(try asking the same with Gnome, nethack, X11...)

If we pretend that you only want to do the best for open source, then
I'm think you doing it the wrong way. Open source shouldn't be
promoted because some people is evil and some is good. Open source is
about better software for everybody.
If I'm going to be mean for a second then I could get the thought that
the only reason to allow Open Source systems to use this software that
i to spread the software so solaris and windows users *have* to pay
you. That is what I read out of the license, but you mails probally
shows otherwise.
