How do you know this? You are making a statement of fact ("He's
Rationalizing.") based on knowledge you do not (and can not) have.
Perhaps Linus really *does* feel this way. Perhaps he has never
desired to change the license.
The sort of freshman rhetoric is beneath you, Brett. Your arguments,
however wrong I might think them, are usually more sophisticated than this.
