Thomas Bushnell, BSG, formerly known as Michael Bushnell, is a software developer and Gregorian friar. He was the founder[1] and principal architect of GNU's official kernel project, GNU Hurd,[2] from its instigation until November 2003, when he posted to the GNU project's discussion mailing list saying that he had been dismissed by Richard Stallman for criticizing the GNU Free Documentation Licence.[3]

Thomas remains active in free software, and maintains several Debian packages.
