HERO or NOT ? #001

A computer is like air conditioning, it becomes useless when you open Windows

Linus Benedict Torvalds (born December 28, 1969) is a Finnish–American software engineer who is the creator, and historically, the principal developer of the Linux kernel, which became the kernel for operating systems such as the Linux operating system, Android, and Chrome OS. He also created the distributed revision control system Git and the diving logging and planning software Subsurface.

As of 2006, approximately two percent of the Linux kernel was written by Torvalds himself. Because thousands have contributed to the Linux kernel, this percentage is one of the largest contributions to it. However, he stated in 2012 that his own personal contribution is now mostly merging code written by others, with little programming. Torvalds retains the highest authority to decide which new code is incorporated into the standard Linux kernel.

Torvalds holds the Linux trademark and monitors the use of it, chiefly through the Linux Mark Institute.

Were these people Heroes? Or were they just normal people, in some cases just doing their jobs?
