Puppy In Santa Hat

We had a giant red flag about the Linux Foundation's leadership more than a decade ago:

Linux Director Claims Bashing Microsoft Akin To Kicking A Puppy

Microsoft “A Little Puppy”. Really?

Bashing MS 'Like Kicking a Puppy,' Says Jim Zemlin

Bashing Microsoft ‘like kicking a puppy,’ says Linux Foundation chief

Two days ago:

Linux Foundation launches Tazama to curb fraud

To quote: "Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, said: "Innovation in financial technology is critical and Tazama is at the forefront of that evolution.”"

Maybe Mr. Zemlin can find an increase in salary by going to work directly for Bill Gates. Never say never. His wife already worked for Microsoft. She ironically enough (given the above "Tazama") engaged in financial fraud [1, 2, 3]. Maybe the problems start at home.

In its endless pursuit of money (and power) the 'Linux' Foundation took a giant pivot towards organised crime. The white-collar class is hijacking the brand "Linux"
