It is but you don't need an OS to define it.
- krapp 8y agoBut it seems as if the politics being discussed here apply to the project and its contributors, it's not as if a Code of Conduct is being applied to you, the end user. Unless they add something political to the license itself, I don't see why it would matter.
- yosefzeev 8y agoIf it doesn't matter, why is Linus making it an issue?
- eropple 8y agoOh, heck, I don't know. Maybe because he realizes he's been pissing in the pool, that others are also pissing in the pool, that nobody should be pissing in the pool, and the first step to creating a social understanding of "don't piss in the pool" is to put up a sign to that effect. Or maybe it's the evil, mustachio-twirling social justice warriors, somehow hectoring a project worth billions of dollars to its component contributors into listening to little old them. That is equally as plausible.
- krapp 8y agoHe's making it an issue for himself and contributors to the Linux kernel. If you're none of those, then it shouldn't affect you. Everyone else is making a mountain out of a molehill, however. As far as why... I suppose you can read his words yourself.
