As other answers have made patent, I think the point is quite clear. When you look at the viable options for personal computing currently, Linux stands as the one that actually has some thought and backing to it to work in a social manner (rather than an anti-social manner). And so on.

That said, I don't exactly get why you are downvoted. I think the distinctions are important to point out and the question important to ask. It's just that Linus personally is mistaken about it.
