What would Linux be without Linus Thorvalds? If you take the Linux core and
start modifying it without Linus backing you up, and finally end up with a
product not compatible with the Linus approved Linux, what would the result
be?

Does Linux need Linus? Yes.
Is Linus a big company that is pumping loads of money into Linux
development? No.

The same can be said of Zope.
