Given Dmitry instigated that incident by attempting himself to "slut-shame" C, I'd say he had that one coming! I think Linus was fed-up there with the nth polite suggestion he re-implement either git or the kernel in C++.
There was a "police camera action" footage of a UK nightclub and a man leaping up and slapping the bouncer 6 or 7 times because he was not allowed in - on the eighth leap the bouncer simply punches him once to the ground.
The voice over explains that police had reviewed the footage, and whilst commonly prosecuting bouncers for ABH, this time declined to press charges.
I think it probably says more about the motivation, need, and the size of the respective communities. CPAN has been a great success and example, but I don't think that has had anything to do with AI.
I should have explained further: when I say "that says a lot about the failure of AI", I mean that from a language whose target is AI, you would expect some kick-ass solutions to common issues. Common Lisp is good to solve hard problems, but then - after more than 50 years - you have to fight to install a library, when "lesser" languages make it a breeze. With direct words: I think AI failed because it tackled hard problems instead of everyday ones.
I question the validity and enforceability of a trademark on the word Android anyway. Google neither coined the word or were the first to use it in a technical sense. Android had a pre-existing meaning and in your example maps to paper tissue not the coined product descriptor Kleenex.
