From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To me they give to a project that have individual that hold controversial opinion rather than to a controversial individual but I can understand the logic.
But tbh I would rather be pissed that a company would finnanve other while they sell their stuff for a premium price
If the individual is the only one in charge of the project, and controls the money, there really isnt a difference.
