<human>:  Does Linus Torvalds make money off of DirectX?
<bot>: No, Linus Torvalds does not make money off of DirectX. DirectX is a proprietary technology owned by Microsoft and Linus Torvalds is the creator and lead developer for the open-source Linux kernel and the Linux kernel is used in operating systems that are competitors of Microsoft Windows, so Linus Torvalds does not make money off of DirectX.
