Linus Torvalds didn't make any of the GNU software to support his operating system. But he didn't conceal the source, he made it available. Richard Stallman gave him the idea to to publish it as free software, and HURD was still at its early stages. It was a community effort, and the reason why Linus has coordinated his kernel is not because he gets any money out of it, but he loves his baby, and wants it to prosper. Some people like Stallman and Torvald are great. Some are smart like SMRT!

RMS's genius is often overshadowed by his awkward grasp of social nuances and skills.
Even when he's right - the OS is GNU Linux - he comes across in a manner which is off putting to many people.
His struggle for GNU/Linux is contrary to the use of combined words for names in the English language. For example, it's not Rolls SLASH Royce or Rolls AND Royce, it's just Rolls Royce.
He'd be better of saying it's GNU Linux, rather that trying to get people to use a clumsy alternative.

@oyconvey Free Software is about user rights, not cost. Try again.

Some director expected a 10 second thank you speech.
But launched into a 2 minute rant about the same old same old.
Set sail to the valley of Awkward.

Many more people care about it. Maybe not so passionately about RMS but still. Free Software and its philosophy behind it is the reason the whole thing works.

I don't care what other say this guy rms is a genius he could see the danger of propietary software when linus still was a kid, thanks to him and all the GNU project we have GNU+Linux today.i used GNU+Linux+KBSD+Hurd and nothing change is always GNU but with different kernel.
