Murdock, for one, finds that unbudgeable nature both refreshing<br />
and valuable. Stallman may no longer be the solitary leader of the<br />
free software movement, but he is still the polestar of the free software<br />
community. “You always know that he’s going to be consistent in his<br />
views,” Murdock says. “Most people aren’t like that. Whether you<br />
agree with him or not, you really have to respect that.”<br />

2 Although Linus Torvalds is Finnish, his mother tongue is Swedish. “The Rampantly<br />
Unofficial Linus FAQ” at http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/linus/ offers a brief<br />
explanation:<br />
Finland has a significant (about 6%) Swedish-speaking minority population.<br />
They call themselves finlandssvensk or finlandssvenskar and<br />
consider themselves Finns; many of their families have lived in Finland<br />
for centuries. Swedish is one of Finland’s two official languages.<br />
3 Brooks’ Law is the shorthand summary of the following quote taken from<br />
Brooks’ book:<br />
Since software construction is inherently a systems effort – an exercise<br />
in complex interrelationships – communication effort is great, and it<br />
quickly dominates the decrease in individual task time brought about<br />
by partitioning. Adding more men then lengthens, not shortens, the<br />
schedule.<br />
