Linus Torvalds
There are extremists in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do free software any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred.
Linus Torvalds
One of the reasons I like open source is that it allows people to work on the parts they are good at, and I don't mean just on a technical level some people are into the whole selling and support, and that's just not me.
Linus Torvalds

Linus Torvalds
While I may not get any money from Linux, I get a huge personal satisfaction from having written something that people really enjoy using, and that people find to be the best alternative for their needs.
Linus Torvalds
