No. No. No. This is a complete misrepresentation of the events. Stallman created a GNU project which culminated in the GNU/Linux OS. His contribution is far more important that that of Torvalds, because by the time linux kernel appeared, the emergence of GNU-licensed kernel for GNU OS was inevitable. Had Linux been licensed differently, it would not gain a fraction of traction it received licensed under GPL, and the GNU project would come up with something anyway. They just didn't need it after they had one good kernel. So, without Torvalds ot would have been someone else. Without Stallman, there would be no GNU. All of this happened a decade before corporations started to take notice. By the time it happened, a great number of developers contributed to the GNU project and have created a lot of applications.
