Linus Torvalds wrote an article about this:
http://linux.ucs.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9607/1258.html
My interpretation of what Linus said was:
no obscene language in user-visible messages
obscene language in comments at the discretion of the author
Linus will not accept patches that just change other people's language
