From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m out of the loop Is this topical?
This meme is coming on 30 years old in terms of content.

Pretty typical. Apple has been doing this for a long time now.
I don't think it's topical in the sense of "this joke riffs on a current news cycle event," which is how I think of "topical humour". But it kind of is, in that this debate over licenses is ongoing since RMS invented the GPL.
