I think it does have a lot to do with Linux users and developers.  We
are often grouped with the "hackers" negatively, and we need to make
sure that people understand the difference.  Whether you agree or not,
is a personal feeling.  Perceptions matter, and hacking which is using
something in a way not necessarily intended by the original designer is
a good hack.  If someone is breaking into systems and doing harm, that
is cracking.

At least that is my view. YMMV.
