From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

David Rudin, I guess? It says which company each person is from under their name. (The page defaults to the "Leadership" tab, so you gotta click on the "Board of directors" tab to see the correct list of people.)

Yeah, sorry about that. I don't know why it doesn't straight up lead you to the fight place
