It means that Linux is a kernel for Linux-based operating systems. In the strictest sense, Linux itself is only the kernel, however I tend to view it as a full operating system core due to how most kernel spece works (Which tends to include not just the kernel, but most device drivers.).

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

Who is now as the creator of Linux Operating System?
Linus Torvalds is the creator of Linux. That won't change even if he were to step down and never touch Linux source again, he still created Linux in 1991. If you mean who is now in charge of Linux, that's still Linus Torvalds. The only difference now is he's no longer the single biggest contributor to the kernel, although it has been pointed out that among individual people as contributors, he contributed the most, but the vast majority of kernel code now is written by companies like IBM, Red Hat, Intel, HP, and the like. Linus will still generally have to approve anything going on with the core kernel itself, thus even a megacorporation like IBM still has to wait for him to approve patches, though he'll be one of a few core kernel developers who'l sign off on the code.
