"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."

Would you mind linking me something where RMS holds that kind of opinion?

It's a big video, but I think it's useful to watch RMS speak rather than read a transcript or (much worse) a blogger's interpretation. He's less unreasonable than a lot of people think.
He doesn't want special rights for software. What he wants is to eliminate the special restrictions that we've come to accept for software but don't make sense in the context of comparable products.
I havn't used ardour in a year or two now, so it may have changed
It has. I recently helped produce a full-length chamber-pop album (arty cheesy catchy) with Ardour, VST plugins, Ubuntu, and Ingo's realtime-preempt kernel patchset. Shameless plug (gratis streaming):

Yes, those are all real instruments (a whole lot of them). We had the Carnegie Mellon school of music at our disposal. That's me on piano, harpsichord, and seven other pitched percussion instruments. This was by far the most fun project I've ever worked on. It might have cost a quarter million to do this in the real world.
