Linux came from Linus Torvalds. FreeBSD came from BSD which came from Berkeley State's CS dept. Granted, GNU and FSF have been mighty helpful, but if RMS were the only one to support GNU/FSF then what? The answer is that *WE* make linux/*BSD possible. Credit belongs to the community that sustains the waves long after a gentle wind starts them. Credit also goes those that channel and support the waves.
