I don't see why I should even care about Linux and especially Linus at
all. Personally, I just help finishing the GNU system instead of
caring about the GNU/Linux variant. I don't see why people supporting
free software want to get associated with some bunch of people
promoting non-free software, use the term open source and try to get
all the credits themself for writing an operating system. They don't
give credits to the biggest part of the operating system, GNU, a part
that is such important that without it Linux wasn't even possible.
