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.

After Bram Moolenaar, the legendary creator of vim, it might just hit another legendary figure in the world of OSS. It's true that he is controversial, but he has my respect and best wishes.
Someone should keep an eye on Linus.
The unspeakable thing will eventually happen. I can't imagine it, Linus is the giant among giants.

Stallman disagrees with "open source". The least you could do is stop associateing him with it
