Most of the people who call the system &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; have never heard why that's not the right thing. They saw others using that name and assume it must be right. The name &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; also spreads a false picture of the system's origin, because people tend to suppose that the system's history was such as to fit that name. For instance, they often believe its development was started by Linus Torvalds in 1991. This false picture tends to reinforce the idea that the system should be called &ldquo;Linux&rdquo;.
