Linus Torvalds Interviewed

Business Week has an interesting interview with Linus. He comments on Linux/Open Source innovation, the biggest challenges facing Linux, kernel development organization and process and his role as “benevolent dictator”. One of my favorite quotes:
I am a dictator, but it's the right kind of dictatorship. I can't really do anything that screws people over. The benevolence is built in. I can't be nasty. If my baser instincts took hold, they wouldn't trust me, and they wouldn't work with me anymore. I'm not so much a leader, I'm more of a shepherd. Now all the kernel developers will read that and say, “He's comparing us to sheep.” It's more like herding cats.
