Re: Who really writes Linux?
Quote:
It is estimated that the development of one version of Linux, Red Hat 7.1, required 8 000 years' worth of man hours.
Developed as proprietary software, the project would have cost more than $1 billion (R7,2 billion) in 2000.
Linus Torvalds is worth $20-million (R144 million). He has been called one of the most influential people in the world (Time magazine, 2004) and came 17th in Time's Person of the Century poll in 2000.
