Linux is Linus's kernel. He can do with it what he pleases. FSF doesn't have a working, widely used, & widely successful kernel. If they don't like how he manages HIS kernel project, then they can find another kernel to piggy-back off of. Or maybe they can use their own kernel. No, I guess they can't, since their kernel seems to be quite a bit stuck in the "All talk, no action" phase. Then I guess that means that they should shut up & sit down. If they made Linus mad enough, it's possible that he could remove future versions of the kernel from FSF space by changing the kernel's license. I doubt it would hurt him as much as it would hurt them. And before anybody gets butt-hurt over me calling it FSF instead of FSFLA, you should keep in mind that FSFLA is just a branch FSF.
