Linux The Linux Foundation has made some analyzation the past two years into just how much code is being added to the project and who is doing that contribution. This year's report is out, and the results are actually quite smile-worthy if you're a Linux advocate: the increase in code contributions is phenomenal, the rate at which these contributions are being submitted is faster, and there are more individual developers than previously.

I hate to be that guy, but keep in mind that "Linux" only refers to the kernel. It is going to be increasingly important as time goes on to differentiate GNU/Linux from Chrome/Linux, Android/Linux, Palm/Linux, etc.

Maybe you could count GNOME-oriented distros as "GNU" but Linux isn't. It's just propaganda of the FSF. You just hate yourself, so do we. Torvalds has said Linux is not a GNU project so forcefully tagging it as GNU/Linux is more of a trademark infringement.

There is at least 1000 more KDE software in my Linux than there is from GNU.
