FYI, Linus Torvalds is the father of Linux. RMS convinced Torvalds to release Linux under the GNU GPL and therefore it became GNU/Linux.
RMS - father of GNU, Emacs, GPL, etc.
Linux Torvalds - father of Linux Kernel
Please fix the picture.

Indeed Torvalds was the father of Linux. Nowadays he owns about 2% of kernel's code so Linux belongs to the world.

RMS is the Father of Free Software. Fine. The reason I said GNU is because free software existed a long time ago.
Software was always free until a few big businesses decided that opening their software meant they were losing trade secrets. Soon every business was doing it and almost nobody released the code for their software. RMS came along and created a system where software would be free and stay free thanks to the viral-nature of the GPL. All RMS needed was a kernel for his new GNU tools.
Linus Torvalds created Linux on his own for a while. RMS convinced him to release the kernel under the GNU GPL license. GNU now had a kernel for their GNU tools.
Linus Torvalds wrote the first version of Linux and named it after himself. He was the original creator. That it why we call him the Father of Linux.
Afterwards, many people, businesses, and companies found out about LInux and started contributing. Even to this day, Linus continues to be one of the highest single contributors to the Linux Kernel.
I am surprised that much of the community doesn't actually understand how it all happened.
