Most Linux software is written by Red Hat. GNOME, Wayland, and systemd are all Red Hat projects. They are even a major contributor to the kernel itself.

Oh! I didn't realize Red Hat had hired RMS. :-/

Setting aside the controversial nature of those three specific projects (and the fact that this statement is demonstrably false), this statement demeans the contributions of thousands of coders, even from before Linux existed.

(let alone before Red Hat was a gleam on Bob Young's head.)
