Has Linus ever gotten bent out of shape at somebody for forking Linux (assuming they've done it while not violating the license)? Let alone someone who would decide to do their own clean implementation of a Linux like OS? I don't think that comparison makes much sense.

EDIT: Let the users work this out, if Rocket fulfills a need for some people better than Docker does for CoreOS then it will become clear overtime. Docker does need leadership, but not by picking pointless fights.



I think you're referring to another post now. I doubt they eat the same breakfast either. I was specifically referring to this github ticket.

I think the users have already decided, pretty much everyone uses docker already.

Nope. For forking Linux, changing the behaviour and then telling Linux to comply with it he has bitten several heads off though.
