If GNU's not Unix, why should it be Linux?

Feature:Free Linux

· Score: 1
Linux, Perl, GNU tools, and all the other goodies we enjoy are free. But even better, they're great tools. I don't actually mind paying for MS products as much as I mind putting up with the endless, senseless bugs. Good Enough is not. For now, it looks like the bazaar is making headway against the bizarre (and broken, code and applications.) But then the Marxists jump in. No offense intended to RMS, but his words leave me with the impression that he's more interested in getting glory than in getting free/open-source/whatever-you-call-it programs. I would like to know more about the scores of individual contributors who made all this possible, and I'm glad Tom shed some light on the subject.
