The thing here is about initiative. Linus Torvalds initiated his Linux
project because he wanted something to play with at home. He released it
because he thinks his work will interest the community.

An individual initiated it because the 1st initial push is always the
hardest. The Individual released it for the exact same reason as Linus.

What's the point about keep on talking about it? Talks is like a
rocking chair?? It's rocks and moves but it never actually goes
anywhere.

Is that consider bad on my part that I, being that said individual
initiated it _for_ the community?
