The Linux Foundation is an umbrella organisation/lobby organisation, similar to the Apache project.
Most of the actual code is written by individual and corporate contributors. Google, in particular, contributes a LOT of code to both the Linux kernel and projects like Kubernetes.

- rectang 8y agoThere is a major difference between the Apache Software Foundation and the Linux Foundation. The ASF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The Linux Foundation is a 501(c)(6) business league. Donations to a 501(c)(3) are tax-deductible but are very restricted, which donations to a 501(c)(6) are not tax-deductible but are far less restricted. Not coincidentally, the ASF's annual budget is a tiny fraction of the Linux Foundation's.
