JS makes so many ridiculous statements that I find it hard to take him 
seriously.    Recently, he's upset Debian enough (he changed the licence 
on cdr-tools) that Debian's forked cdrecord, SUSE is distributing 
another version (Debian's I suspect).

I may be mistaken, but I think the Linux Kernel Hackers know more about 
the Linux kernel than JS does.
