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.

Linus regularly posted on Google+, it's more like he himself isn't that into foss and sees everything as a utility to use

Linus has been critical of Gplv3. I dont think he would use Gplv2 again if he could start over.

I wouldn't even disagree with considering it. Look at how corporately independent the BSDs are... and they are just as capable in most fields as Linux.

I'm unsure which license is the best path anymore. That said the outcome would likely be the same eitherway.
