The quote attributed to Linus Torvalds, “Software is like sex: it’s better when it’s free,” emphasizes the value of freedom in software, meaning users should have the liberty to use, modify, and distribute software without restrictions, rather than focusing solely on cost.

It underscores the importance of open collaboration and the long-term benefits of freely shared code, drawing a parallel to the idea that both software and sex are more fulfilling when made with Freedom, not Pressure and its collaborative with good intent for everyone, taking everyone involved into consideration.

“Linus Torvalds is married to Tove Torvalds (née Monni), a six-time Finnish national karate champion, whom he met in late 1993”
