Can you assuming that you have C skills tell Linus that we all should use a new file system called FUD? NO! Is Linux any less open because you cannot ? NO!
He controls the trademark. That's pretty much all Google has going for "their" Android, too. Plus some of their own closed-source apps, of which Linus has none. Also, Linus can't really stop distributing the kernel source, whereas Google - doing the main development on Android - can just delay shipping the source for a while. But, technicalities aside, they both have similar amounts of control over their respective products.
