Email the hypocrites @ the Linux foundation, tell them they are a bunch of fake people milking the Linux name by using proprietary software on their daily work, one will think they will support Linux and open source as much as possible specially when there are good options to adobe shit and apple/windows CRAP. info@linuxfoundation.org enough is enough if they want to use OSX they should have called them self the OSX foundation or the Adobe foundation period!

    Yeah Linux and the Linux foundation are corporate as fuck these days. Linus Torvalds has a net worth of $150 million and if you rank Linux contributors in general big companies are the biggest contributors. Hell Microsoft is a top tier member of the Linux Foundation.

    You are literally not dealing with Free Software activists at the Linux Foundation. You are working with gigantic corporations that like the technical and economic advantages of a collaboratively developed, free of charge open source OS kernel. Of course they don’t care about fucking principles. Torvalds never cared about principles and was always up front about this.

    There is no salvaging the Linux project from the corporatizing processes. You can find ways to accommodate it or jump ship. Linus himself is far too “pragmatic” to ever change this direction. Why would he? It’s working out well for him, to about the tune of $10 million a year.

    I wish there was a good GPLv3 kernel out there. I like GPLv3 as a license.
