An Interview With Linus Torvalds: Open Source And Beyond - Part 2 (Tag1)

The secondhalf of the interview with Linus Torvalds on the Tag1 Consulting sitehas been posted.

I think one of the reasons Linux succeeded wasexactly the fact that I actually did NOT have a big plan, and did not havehigh expectations of where things would go, and so when people startedsending me patches, or sending me requests for features, to me that was allgreat, and I had no preconceived notion of what Linux should be. Endresult: all those individuals (and later big companies) that wanted toparticipate in Linux kernel development had a fairly easy time to do so,because I was quite open to Linux doing things that I personally had had noreal interest in originally.
