   @BOB @deprecated_ii Why would anyone ever donate to that proprietary organization.

   Linus sure gets a hell of a lot of money in exchange for not enforcing his license against violations and to wield his copyright against freedom (by ensuring that Linux is GPLv3-incomatible by licensing GPLv2-only instead of GPLv2-or-later).
   
   According to Lunduke, in 2021, out of all the expenditure, only 3.4% of it was for Linux; https://lunduke.substack.com/p/linux-foundation-spends-just-34-of
   
   Although that was from 2021.
   
   
   There is also a 2023 report; https://www.linuxfoundation.org/hubfs/Reports/lf_annualreport23_071024a.pdf?hsLang=en
   Of course; <xmp:CreatorTool>Adobe Illustrator 25.4 (Macintosh)</xmp:CreatorTool> - still using macos.
   
   On page 158, you can see that only 2% of their expenditures was actually spent on Linux and the rest was either shoved into the hands of proprietary software companies or something that resembles a furnace.
   
   Of course, on page 160, they put the proprietary software as the contact details up the top and the address and finally an email only at the bottom.
   
   I'm not exactly sure where to find the tax filings for 2022 or 2023, but 2021 seems to be good enough for demonstration.
