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

The second
half of the interview with Linus Torvalds on the Tag1 Consulting site
has been posted.

I think one of the reasons Linux succeeded was
exactly the fact that I actually did NOT have a big plan, and did not have
high expectations of where things would go, and so when people started
sending me patches, or sending me requests for features, to me that was all
great, and I had no preconceived notion of what Linux should be. End
result: all those individuals (and later big companies) that wanted to
participate 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 no
real interest in originally.
