Greeting Friend Peter:
Linux is an OS, and so is Sun, and AIX, and Windows
XP.
What makes Linux unique? Linux is unique because it
was created to ensure it's users freedom now and in
the future. So from the start, Linux has political
implications. You are correct that certain political
freedoms permit it to be created. These are common
freedoms which are a cornerstone of a free government.
I doubt either Linux or Western libral government can
survive the DMCA.
