@tux0r@layer8.space Despite the name, the Linux Foundation does not govern Linux. They merely support and promote Linux, but do not own it. It would be no different than myself creating the BSD Foundation. Linux is the kernel originally created by Linus Torvalds, while in Finland, Europe. It's open-source software licensed primarily under the GNU General Public License version 2. @jon@social.vivaldi.net

@NetscapeNavigator@social.vivaldi.net Despite your post, the governing board of Linux development, led by the US citizen Linus Torvalds, is bound to Trump’s laws, as the legal entities (including the repository owners and copyright holders) are.
