   TIL that ***70%*** of the companies on the Linux Foundation Board are GPL violators, via Bryan Lunduke

   You know ... VMWare, Sony, Intel, Huawei, Fujitsu, Tencent, Qualcomm, Panasonic, Microsoft, Samsung, Red Hat, or Oracle 😭

     @ricardo@mastodon.bsd.cafe The Linux Foundation also has nothing to do with the development of the Linux by the way. Only 2% of their funds go to Linux.
     
     I love their annual reports.

     @SuperDicq @ricardo just to add that most of their reports are made with proprietary software as well. The Linux foundation is just as many of others "foundations". Just a lie.

     @ricardo >70% >via Bryan Lunduke
     Do you have more details about that?
     
     I reckon it's closer to 95%.
     
     @SuperDicq The Linux foundation doesn't even use that kernel in the systemd OS - they use window or macos.
