From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks for that link, it gave a bit more context into what OP was talking about.
The article does link to this archive.org link, which seems to back the title.
On the other hand, I also see articles like: KDE Foundation hires Dwarf Paladin as new Executive Director, which make me agree that this seems to be a bit on the malicious side.
It does make me want to dig around a bit now though.
