Summary: In 2019 Jim Zemlin gave himself a salary of $1,150,000 (bonus included) compared to $500,000 6 years earlier (before kicking the community out of the Board and Directors and enlisting several board members who are full-time Microsoft employees, instead); is the real goal of the Linux Foundation mostly lining the pockets of executives who don't even use Linux and abuse Linus (creator of Linux)?
