RMS and reactions to him
Quoted 2 lines · RMS
I'm glad you appreciate our work, but if you call the system "Linux", you lead other people to suppose it was done by Linus.
I think I see now why you have been pursuing this issue like a abused Pit Bull. You perceive in the name 'Linux' an implicit claim that what it denotes is entirely the work of Linus Torvalds.
There is no such implication in it. As for interpretation, Linux newbies don't even know that someone named 'Linus Torvalds' exists, while Linux cognoscenti know perfectly well that Linus Torvalds didn't write the whole thing. That leaves the semi-informed, i.e., journalists, but who cares what they think? There is no problem here.
IT'S JUST A NAME
