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.

Do you mean that any copying is bad or any copying is ok as long as it helps achieve the goals?
When you copy the outcome is almost always going to be worse than the original. Do your own thing and be the person or project you want to be. You don't need to care outside of the project.
This. But 99% of the internet will hate your project for absolutely anything they don't like in it and it will kill the project because distros won't want to use it.
