Exactly. I'm happy to see comments like yours. He gave Linux to the world for free and made sure it couldn't be turned into a corporate product. The guy is as close to a hero as we get in tech.
Not just Linux, but Git too. So not only do most of the computers in the world run Linux, there's an entire ecosystem of the Internet based off of one of his side projects. Talk about proving that you're not a one-hit wonder...
You speak like he wrote the Kernel (and Git) all by himself.
At some point he did IIRC.
I agree. I was hoping for a much larger amount and yet expected a much lower amount.
