   Can't believe you refuse to recognize Torvalds (and other important   
   kernel contributors).   
      
   Absent the working GPL Linux kernel, GuhNoo would still be sitting on a   
   shelf collecting dust, and the popularity of FOSS (driven by GNU/Linux)   
   definitely wouldn't have happened, and Stallman would be unknown and   
   more broke than ever and still hustling a room and a meal from gullible   
   idiots.   
      
   And then there's the app developers and distro makers who opened up   
   Linux to the masses, including corporate data centers who wanted a   
   reputable and reliable source for installation, support and repair (Red   
   Hat firstly, then Ubuntu and Suse).   
      
   So it was many many hundreds if not thousands of committed GNU / Linux /   
   FOSS people that contributed to getting FOSS to where it is now.   
      
   But then there's YOU, who "couldn't care less about the community."   
      
   What would Stallman say if he knew what a phony wastrel you were?  I   
   think I'll make him aware of you and your bad attitude.
