"The development of the kernel has changed, and Linux is just getting better and better. However, with a community as large and fractured as the Linux community, it can sometimes be hard to get a big picture overview of where Linux is going: what's happening with kernel version 2.6? Will there be a version 3.0? What has Linus been up to lately? What does he get up to in his spare time?
I had the opportunity to chat with the original creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, in a number of email exchanges."

Have you considered proposing this to John Carmack? I imagine that you could write it up in a way that would be likely to get a response. And I'm sure such a response would be extremely interesting. He's brilliant, understands the gaming industry, proprietary software, and open source software. He has experience with releasing previously proprietary game engine code as OSS, and has seen what people do... and don't do with it. Id Software has been a casual friend to Linux and OSS since the early 1990s.
Perhaps you could write him, and maybe share what you find out with the rest of us?
