Regarding Linus, he spoke to the BBC and explained in his own words his position: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45664640

This ZDNet article summarizes some of the points Linus made, if you want the short version: https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-answers-5-quest...

OK, I was wrong. But still, it reads just like a pun in light of recent events.
