Even people who don't own a computer know people who do. EVERYONE is touched by Linux. Ever use Google? Know anybody who does? Their servers run on Linux. This is just one example.

It's pervasive. I go into work and people are asking me did I watch such and such last night. You go in a restaurant and it's just there and going. Same thing with Linux. Like television it's just part of the structure of the modern industrial world. In ways that you obviously have not considered.

You're right about giving credit where credit is due though!
