It's not unfounded and I don't know of a time when Linus wasn't right in the end. But I wouldn't say it's blind devotion he would be turned on in a second he betrayed his principles. Also FOSS is not about lack of ownership its about sharing code for the greater good. Every owner of a project knows that a project can be forked in an instant.
