And here is a quote from Torvalds
If the locker-room talk worries the suits trying to make money off Linux,
Linus Torvalds, the father of the OS, doesn't give a damn. "Profanity and
bad taste can be fine," he wrote to developers in a 1999 email. The time
to worry, he said, is "when the profanities start to occupy a noticeable
amount of kernel space."
