I saw Linux, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft, and I thought: one of these is not like the others. It's almost the opposite. What mutual interest can they possibly have?
- seneca 4y agoThe Linux foundation is heavily captured by companies like those others on the list. It only seems odd on the list for historical reasons.
- danuker 4y agoIndeed. Lunduke's Linux Sucks series go into detail.
- plonk 4y agoWhy are these "opposites"? All these companies need and invest in Linux.
- ilyt 4y agoLinux foundation is essentially puppet of their sponsors
- ghaff 4y agoIsn't that kind of what a 501(c)(6) trade association is--which is what LF is?
- yencabulator 4y agoThe grandparent's point is the "Linux" part of the name. If this had been "BigCo Interests Foundation", nobody would blink an eye.
