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.

Is the guy who called everyone thieves if they didn't donate enough before downloading still part of Elementary?
Assuming you're referring to this article; I don't know. Was it even ever revealed who the author was? Honestly I don't even think that it matters, as publicating the blogpost means that the team -at least to some degree- endorsed the idea.
