Google To Pay Freight for Number 2 Linux Guy

from digg

Now that English-born Aussie Andrew Morton, Linux' second-ranking kernel hacker, has resolved what friends described as his US visa issues, he has "taken a job" with Google. In other words, Google is going to pay his salary while he continues to act as the 2.6 kernel's maintainer full-time.

Above it, there is a comment made by roc69x:

Helping ones friend, while hurting ones enemy(microsoft) is a good strategy.

Hahhhaaa... It's a good reason.
