Linus isn't really a Free Software guy, from what I've read. He's more Open Source, pragmatic, but seems to prefer to avoid such politics. So ... the guy who wrote the Linux kernel isn't about Linux? RMS didn't code the Linux kernel (He certainly did a lot to create the environment in which it could be coded, and this should be recognised) - but Linux != Free Software movement.
