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.

Sounds like he may be a socially progressive liberal.
wouldn't even go that far, the examples he mentioned are pretty uncontroversial at this point
Wow. That went from Linus said something I agree with to Linus is a twat really fucking fast.
He's not american, so no.
He lives in the US though so should we be using European or American terms? In American terms he absolutely is a liberal, based on all the stances mentioned, whereas in European terms, liberal more or less means capitalist
He's one of the few cool high profile Europeans to move here!
