Linux (kernel)
This article is about the Linux Kernel. For the system that the kernel runs under, see GNU/Linux
Linux is a Unix-like kernel. It was created in April 1991 in University of Helsinki, Finland by Linus Torvalds. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software. It is released under GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2), with some proprietary binary modules.
Being a kernel, Linux sets the foundations for the operating system but lacks the actual userspace programs commonly associated with one. Due to historical purposes, Linux ships with GNU core utilities in order to provide a fully functional system. Due to this fact, some refer to it as GNU/Linux, which is a term Richard Stallman repeatedly tries to enforce.
