If you think Linux, or Linus, is unethical why do you run Linux? Or
even GNU/Linux? There are lots of other OS's.
Mostly because Linus isn't capable of screwing up the Freedom that's
guarded by the GPL.
That said, the problem with Linus isn't usually his antipathy for
Freedom, just his apathy. He'd make an awful steward for Free Software,
even if he's capable enough as a lead for the Linux kernel.
Just because I don't think he's fit for one specific job, don't infer
that I think he's unfit for every job.
