R.I.P. Bitcoin. It’s time to move on
- jordigh 11y ago> We need to learn from successful open-source technology projects such as the Linux Foundation, which is thriving largely because it has proven its worth as a neutral body to govern all manner of open-source projects that grew too big for small groups to manage in a casual manner. The Linux Foundation is a particularly bad example of a good citizen. Here is how it is not neutral: it gets lots of funding from VMWare. The Linux Foundation used to be a large donor for Software Freedom Conservancy. VMWare and Conservancy are engaged in a GPL lawsuit. End result: conflict of interest, and the LF pulls Conservancy's funding. VMWare has managed to manipulate the Linux Foundation into fostering a GPL violation.
