Surely it s only a matter of time until the ownership of Linux is assumed by a software or hardware vendor – where would that leave us then?
Due to the way in which Linux has been copyrighted, it is not possible for any company or individual to gain control the Linux operating system. In fact the laws which relate to it dictate that anyone modifying the code for later distribution must make the source code public under the same terms in which they acquired it in the first place.
