This is so plainly, and verifiably untrue, that it's almost funny. The patch series and kernel commit adding Landlock to the Linux kernel even references OpenBSD pledge(2)/unveil(2) as a source of inspiration.

I just found that email and the talk for the project myself and noted the author referenced pledge in another comment, but thought that could be due to the earlier OpenBSD release having gotten press, making it useful as a point of comparison. I had honestly thought the landlock website or an earlier talk had pre-dated the release of OpenBSD 5.9, but I appear to have been wrong about that.
