Linux Torvalds created Linux and "founded" its development.
There is a group of people who like to take credit away from Linus where it belongs and unfairly give it to Richard Stallman, however, but be warned, all Stallman did was make a toolchain that Linux most commonly uses as a SMALL part of its USERSPACE.

Open source operating systems can trace their ancestry to many trends in computing of the 60s and 70s. If one had to put a face on the concept, it would be Richard Stallman. Stallman formed the Free Software foundation, and developed or commissioned many of the necessary components of a free and open-source operating system.
Note that Stallman doesn't like the term "open-source", since the source can be available but still restricted in what you are allowed to do with it.

In the free software world, there are several uses of the word "free." The two main ones are "free as in speech" and "free as in beer." Free as in speech means you are relatively unfettered in what you can do with the software. You can modify it, use it for whatever you want, and give it to others (or even sell it). Free as in beer means that you can obtain it for no monetary cost.
Richard Stallman originally envisioned GNU to be free as in speech. At the time he started the project (in 1983), internet access was slow and expensive, high-capacity storage devices weren't readily available, and very few people had a personal computer. It would have been infeasible to offer GNU on a gratis basis. Stallman actually used to charge $150 for a tape with the GNU software on it, plus $15 for a manual.

As most people will tell you about software licensing, the definition of "free" in this case is freedom from licensing restrictions, not as in free-of-charge (in which is derived from the original definition ["...not as in free beer..."] to make it more all-ages friendly).

I do not remember if Linus Torvalds ever gave a specific reason, but he did say it was the "best decision he ever made."
I don't think "freedom" entered into it. He's always been somewhat down on Richard Stallman's type (And RMS has NOT been quiet of his own dislike and barely disguised jealousy.)
