Most people still don't know what Linux is, so it'd be difficult to say that it is "famous." Linux has grown in notoriety due mainly to the open nature that it is developed under. Anyone can contribute code towards Linux, and anyone can use Linux in their own projects, as long as they obey the terms of the license.
