If humans were to grow up without social structure or education, they would not be very effective at survival. It is due to learning skills through education, etc that makes humans effective.

What we have here is specific populations of corvid species that grew up in relative isolation/protection that enabled them to have social structure to exist between generations.

It should be feasible to influence other corvid populations to show such remarkable feats. As long as there is no big mortality, the younger birds should learn from the older.

It becomes obvious from the discussion that Linus is specifically focused on those cases that companies became Linux-friendly after long-term encouragement. He probably took part in such cases.

In addition, he has in mind that companies can abuse the GPLv2 and just do code dumps.

It makes sense what he has in mind but his attitude is too much drama.

It looks like a simple issue that transformed into drama due to the attitudes on the lkml.

It is obvious that there will be cases that the GPL will have to be enforced. Was accepted by the other side in the end.

The SFLC will only undertake a case if they have the support of copyright owners, not on their own volition.

The purpose of WSL is to bring back developers to Windows. It is more efficient than Wine and is more useful to Microsoft to get almost native Ubuntu containers than some way to run Windows GUI apps on Linux.

In modern societies, kids tend to get little quality time with their parents. In addition, they tend not to grow up in a relaxed carefree environment.

I see kids today with mobile phones, playing addictive games and being unable to focus on a single thing for more than a few moments.

It is tough to make multiyear controlled experiments on such things. I would discount heredity for now.
