For all his great work on Linux (and git and others) Torvalds was never into activism so much. He declined GPLv3 (yes it would be impossible to get all contributors to sign for it). He's always been an "open source pragmatist", which is fine I guess. And I really respect his work. But at these important political points, we need someone like Stallman who has consistently proven to be on the right side of the debate

    Dispossessed is among one of my favorite books. You're in for a really interesting time. I feel like it's one of the few rare fiction books which manages to show non capitalistic systems quite well. I really love it! Plus Le Guin was apparently based as hell, too
