Facebook experimented on people (some might have even been kernel programmers), but Facebook programmers are still contributing to the kernel. Let's not even talk about all the other organisations who have done some pretty unethical things, I mean lots of corporations who have or still are violating the GPL (on Kernel code even) are allowed to continue to contribute to the kernel.

- pabs3 6y agoDo you have any examples of companies that are both still GPL violating and still contributing to Linux mainline?
