Linux is only kernel. About 3% of full operating system. And you
simply can't do anything with that kernel unless you add something
to it. Those things people call "Linux" usually are GNU/Linux
with a lot of GNU Project material. 

You should give credits where they belong, even if you hate them. 
And why you hate Free Software Foundation? Have they not helped
your everyday hacking?
