@nyx I was writing about the Linux foundation, which handles the proprietary version of the kernel, Linux (while also using macbooks and macos in the proprietary software meetings).
Linux was proprietary software from the very start (although free for a short while), so it wasn't exactly "subverted".

Meanwhile GNU Linux-libre hasn't been subverted by corporations, as there's no proprietary software in it.
Corporations have tried to subvert GNU for years, but they have and they will forevermore fail.
