Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2)[6] (plus some firmware images with various non-free licenses[8]), and is developed by contributors worldwide.
Day-to-day development discussions take place on the Linux kernel mailing list. The Linux kernel was initially conceived and created in 1991 by Finnish computer science student Linus Torvalds.[11] Linux rapidly accumulated developers and users who adapted code from other free software projects for use with the new operating system.[12] The Linux kernel has received contributions from thousands of programmers.[13] History[edit] In April 1991, Linus Torvalds, a 21-year-old student at the University of Helsinki, Finland started working on some simple ideas for an operating system.
