When he moved to the USA Linux was already a popular OS, and he didn't move here in order to develop the kernel but to work for Transmeta.

He moved there and started the Linux foundation... what are you talking about?

Transmeta hired him, he moved, he liked it and stayed.

That's... not what happened. LF was formed by merging the FSG and OSDL. Only then did the combined entity have sufficient funding to hire Linus.

Nothing I said is in conflict with that.

He did not start the Linux Foundation.
