Linux Creator Calls GPLv3 Authors ‘Hypocrites’

Open Source infighting over the GPLv3 just turned nastier – in a post on the Linux kernel mailing list, Linus Torvalds effectively called the authors of the GPLv3 ‘hypocritical morons’. InformationWeek has reported on the issue: “Linux creator Linus Torvalds said the authors of a new software license expected to be used by thousands of open source programmers are a bunch of hypocrites and likened them to religious fanatics – the latest sign of a growing schism in the open source community between business-minded developers like Torvalds and free software purists.”
