When Linux kernel was first launched, it had restriction to commercial activities. But later was made available for the world for free. Torvalds then invited the programmer to enhance the functionality of the Linux but on a condition that it should be free. Though Linux is not much famous among the general public and the reason behind this is that its functionality. Also it is freeware you can not call for troubleshooting. But a large community of Linux programmer is available on the internet who is ready to help you out.
