"The operating system itself is freely available on the Internet - 
thanks to an initiative by a programmer named Linus Torvalds who 
organized volunteers to write the original source code."

Not to diminish that attribution, but it's sad that Richard Stallman
has never achieved the popular recognition that he deserves.  Without
GNU, the world would not know Linux.  The computing establishment 
knows why this is, but the popular press still hasn't heard.
