It doesn't predominate, but I've heard it fairly often.

Linux would not have existed if it weren't for GNU and the GPL.  I can 
understand why Stallman feels a bit ripped off when he started the ball 
rolling and Torvalds is getting most of the attention.  Torvald's 
contribution looks a lot smaller to me than Stallman's.
