This humble and most modest, Finnish man, with his concern for the technical nitty-gritty of computers, started an evolution of possibilities in computer engineering, his Kernel along with GNU, FOSS, etc has advanced humankind. Knowledge is meant to be open and free, not closed and copyrighted, licensed and sold. Thank you Linus Torvalds for doing what you did, and continuing to do what you do. I appreciate it, in ways you couldn't imagine.
