This might be one of those situations where the difference between Free Software and Open Source becomes more clear.Since the beginning, the goal of Open Source was to make the technical advantages of an open development process appealing to companies and the first thing they had to do was to remove the social and political aspects the FSF was advocating for instead.Torvalds has always been more interested in the technical side of things and he never made a secret of that, thus, while I disagree with him about the whole "it's just a tool" thing, I am not surprised by his opinions.
