Killing the Founders

THE previous post entitled Still Not 'Canceled' (as in so-called 'cancel culture') celebrated the fact that some of the earlier if not earliest developers of Linux are still around. Ted Ts'o, who had become obese, seems like he lost weight (he looks better now) and the same is true for Linus Torvalds, who looks younger again:
This is how LWN captured him a few weeks ago. Ted Ts'o is on the left of this photo.
The video (been a while) shown above focuses on GNU and the GPL, whose main people have come under another wave of attacks from Microsofters who go to Linux Foundation events (part of the Corporate Cabal). It reminds people of the vital role both GNU and the GPL played in the adoption of Linux, not just among developers but users too. Nowadays the vast majority of servers and most mobile devices use Linux. Few users are aware that they use Linux and many never heard of this thing called "GNU" (except the animal).
The bottom line is, nobody speaks better for projects and for licences than their own founders, who are far from dead and are very eager to keep leading their "babies". █
