Linus Back With Linux

When he left Scandavia to join Transmeta and its "Crusoe" moibile processor, lots of folks thought Linus Torvalds had lost the open source commitment and sold out to fortune, like Marc Andreesen of Mosaic/Netscape fame. But today Linus is back with Linux, joining the Open Source Development Lab in order to jump-start release of the next kernel of the Linux OS. [CNET News.com] (There's also a good profile of Liunus in this month's Wired.) Good to know that some of us retain our principles in this day of corporate mercenaries.
