If I’m saying this, and the founders and mainters of the Linux Kernel agree, it really seems like I’m not wrong here.

Might be time reevaluate some stuff.

Believe or not both you and Linus Torvalds can be wrong. Shocking, I know. I don’t know how you’ll break the news to your loved ones.

Yes, like you contradicting your entire previous comment and then continuing on like nothing happened.

What? He is doing what the lawyers is saying to do, the quote:

"No, but I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers.

He is following the sanctions.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
