Linus Torvalds recently received his share of the cash reward from the Technology Academy Finland for being a joint winner of the 2012 Millenium Technology Award. In a very interesting interview with BBC, Linus opines that selfishness and trust is good for Linux and open source. It's nice to know Torvalds doesn't believe that open source is a "goody-goody" approach to technology and is very "selfish" though I wish that I can directly contribute to Linux in code rather than being an evangelist or writer. Even with Mr. Linux himself saying that selfishness is good, I still feel guilty about using the numerous free software written by brilliant developers out there.
