Linux. Finland.
Wouldn't have been created without the free universal education that provided Torvalds the free access to university's licenses and hardware.
Big one. Basically the whole modern world depends on Linux and I don't even think that's too much of an exaggeration
Linux itself probably doesn't get enough credit. People still think it's an obscure nerd OS.
Linux isn't an OS, but you GNU that.
What else is an outcome of that? If it is indeed due to the educational policies, then there has to be other notable and recognizable outcomes. If there's nothing else notable, then I think the credit is where it is due, to Linus.
