The AdTI is not claiming that Linus Torvalds didn't write Linux, but that he didn't "invent" it. Their argument is that Linux is an imitation of Unix and thus he just stole the idea. The subtle implication they're making is that ideas should be property and by "stealing" the idea, he didn't really invent anything. It's complete crap, but that's the "Big Lie".
