Linus isn't really the father of the open source movement. RMS has a lions share to say the least :)
Although CNN, in the interview, gives credit to Linus re: Open source movement; Linus himself does not make any claim. Au contraire, he rightly points out FOSS existed before Linux.
IMO Linux, by using the GNU utilities, provided the exposure to FSF and brought to it the attention of a much larger audience than the uber geeks.
