Linus Torvalds in 2006:
”If you're a mad scientist, you can use GPLv2'd software for your evil plans to take over the world ("Sharks with lasers on their heads!!"), and the GPLv2 just says that you have to give source code back. And that's OK by me.”

Linus Torvalds in 2024:
“I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression?”
