King of Linux

Related: Free Software Freedom is Not Linux

Young Linus Torvalds
King Torvalds was only 13 (thirteen) when GNU got started by a 30 (thirty) year-old Richard Stallman



Summary: If the entire operating system is being called "Linux", then we fall for a publicity or misattribution stunt

THE marketing stunt

Oh boy, that was blunt RMS goes on a rant Over another corporate runt

"GNU exists not...""Linux turns 30" Prepare the confetti Home comes to SETI RMS acting all petty

GNU exists not Let's ensure it will rot Linux is hot GNU just a pale blue dot

The 1980s were a fad No matter what you've read Cheer up, don't be sad Linux is the best we've ever had

Inclusive... of proprietary blobs Unlike freedom-loving slobs Linus in his bathrobes Professional and inclusive of homophobes

TrophyZemlin and the guru magicians Linux needs no technicians Monopolies in search of attritions For money they have infinite ambitions

Money is God Like Zemlin with his iPod His foundation is a fraud But it receives the corporate nod

What next for kernel hackers? Also known as corporate suckers Sheltered in their CoC bunkers While calling us "**********ers"
