What was in the letter that linus torvalds sent to the unviersities?
A 1500 line commands that create in c++.this is the first Linux operating system made by linus torvalds for the purpose of teach the students only.
Is Linux based on windows?
No. Linux followed its own path in history. Linus Torvalds wanted to have an OS that was free and resembles unix. He made the source code open to the public and with the years the os grew in to what we call linux today.
What did Linus Torvalds do with that OS (Operating System) that challenges companies that charge for their computer software?
He made it available for free, and made the source available to everyone. When something is available for free, and can be changed / improved easily, the company that charges for a similar product had better make darn sure that theirs is better, and worth paying money for.
Who is the developer of Linux?
Linus Torvalds was the original creator of Linux. He made it an open-source software which enables any user to change the operating system and contribute to the development for new releases so by all technicality there is no real developer as the entire operating system can be different from user to user, month to month.
Why does Linux make its source available to programmers?
Linux Torvalds made the source code to the Linux kernel available because he wanted both for it to serve as a learning tool, and to convince people to work on it.
Who manufactured Linux?
The Linux kernel was originally written by Linus Torvalds. It was published under the GNU GPL license, which basically allows anyone to use/modify it so long as they continue to make their changes available in source code. As such, the project grew substantially and it supported by people/companies all around the world. There are many variations/distributions made available by groups. There are some companies (Red Hat) that provide an "enterprise" quality distribution and charge for support for the platform. So in short, there really is no "manufacturer" per say.
Why did the Linux programmer allow the program to be distributed under a General Public License?
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.)
Who made Linux unix?
UNIX was created in 1969 by Ken Thompson, Brain Khernighan, and Dennis Ritchie, who at that time were working at AT&T's Bell Laboratories.Linux was created in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds, just for fun, and is based around the designs of Unix as it had evolved from 1969 to around that year. Fun factoid, around 1991 a lot of Unix researchers were actually experimenting with microkernel designs, so Linus wasn't entirely following the bleeding edge Unix trends of the time when he created the Linux kernel.

What organisation writes Linux software?
If by "Linux software" you mean the Linux kernel, it is made up of code submitted by thousands of contributors from all around the world. Linus Torvalds (creater of Linux) is the one who has the final say on what makes it into the final operating system. If you meant applications that run on Linux, there are hundreds of thousands of organizations that write software for Linux. A lot of it can be found in the Ubuntu Software Center
