Linus Torvalds isn't worried about Microsoft taking over Linux zd.net/2LUblRj by
@sjvn Enough already! Microsoft can't take over or wreck Linux. That isn't how Linux's open source methodology works.

@sjvn Worst case, they could take over the *NAME* "Linux". Someone would just fork "Loonix kernel" or something.

@ehurtley Linus owns the trademark so that can't happen. There was already an attempt to do that a long while back and it utterly failed.

@sjvn MS could wave enough $ at him to get him to change his mind.

I mean, I still see him driving around in the Mercedes he bought with Red Hat IPO money, he might want a new Mercedes...

@ehurtley Money's not a big motivator for him.
