The vast majority of money made on open source actually lines the pockets of executives. Linus' wealth and the salaries of all the deverlopers who build Linux or stuff on Linux combined is less by far.

Many of those execs were undergrads or industry swes before they made their billions. Linux and open source should deserve some of the credit for their success.
