previous part of this
Linux Foundation series we said we'd explore structural and financial aspects of the Foundation.
The Linux Foundation isn't what it seems anymore and its name has been misleading for

In the next part we'll show how the Linux Foundation makes its money. It has little to do with the kernel it is called after. The "LINUX KERNEL ORGANIZATION"
is what the Linux Foundation should have been. Not pursing money from military contractors and thugs like Microsoft (to fake "growth").
