From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can disagree with the law if you want, but breaking the law (sanctions) and being arrested is a legal arrest.

I have tons of issues with the US legal system, but I don't pretend like everything I agree with is legal and everything I disagree with is illegal. That would be moronic.
