You could contact Linus Pauling. However, he has been dead
for fifteen years and I suspect couldn't care less.

According to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/linus/
<http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/linus/> his address is
torva...@osdl.org but that's only from a couple of seconds looking on
Google (contact linus torvalds)

Actually just looking at Wikipedia, that's where the confusion could
be :-)
Of course probably everyone knew that and I'm looking daft right now
as i'm typing this.
Sorry for HTML etc - typing this from iPhone and can't edit it as such.

Wikipedia quote:
Torvalds was named afterLinus Pauling, the American Nobel Prize-
winning chemist, although in the book Rebel Code: Linux and the Open
Source Revolution, Torvalds is quoted as saying, "I think I was named
equally forLinus the Peanuts cartoon character," noting that this
makes him half "Nobel-prize-winning chemist" and half "blanket-
carrying cartoon character".--
