Well (to be Clintonesque), that depends on what you mean by "Linux".  I'll
assume you mean the kernel.  It also depends on whether a court views Linux
as a derivative work (in which case the original owner is Linus, questionless),
a joint work, or a collective work.  My guess would be that it's one of the
latter two possibilities.
