MS anti-Linux Connection

Please see #14. All of these links are about the same article. MS admitted that they Fund/Contribute to the org. That could be $100 or $100 million dollars, but I still see no proof that they are the major financier of the org. Although this paper may well be FUD, and even could be MS FUD, you are the ones that are blindly attacking here without the facts.
The correct title of the article linked from Yahoo is "Torvalds claim to "invent" Linux probably false, says new study" and normally that's what should be posted. Just who has the agenda here is starting to seem obvious to me.
Here is a list of officers of the ORG. It's an interesting set of names I'll admit.

That looks to me to be a pretty much Democratic Party funded and run operation.
