So, Microsoft submits 20000 lines of code to the Linux kernel, all licensed under the GPL. Microsoft, who considers Linux a great threat, and once called the GPL a "cancer". Opinions on this one are flying all around us, but what does Linus Torvalds, Linux' benevolent dictator, think about all this?

Well Linus doesn't care about Microsoft, but he does care about Sun since the beginning. Well it is his very own Sun-disease :-)

Did you actually read that post you linked to? It's a reasoned, factual set of comments about Sun's position towards open source. A little cynical in places, but finishing on quite a positive note.
