I don't understand.  Which "the person" are you talking about?  I  
couldn't find your quoted text anywhere, and it's not clear to me  
about whom you are speaking.  I certainly don't think Linus has made  
billions by wordsmithing, and the article doesn't even mention Bill  
G., who is the only person I can see where the quote applies.
