STIRRED up by this morning's self-promotional puff piece from the Linux Foundation -- a piece of 'fluff' in support of mass surveillance -- I've decided to do another video about what the Foundation has become. It's just a tax-exempt marketing firm that exploits the "Linux" brand to gain visibility and attract members/funds, even if it hardly promotes Linux itself (it is not even using it!) and occasionally it promotes things that directly harm Linux. More and more of the staff has Microsoft roots and they promote a hugely misleading version of 'history' -- one to suit their own agenda.

"All corporations measure things like revenue, not freedom, and they may always compromise freedom if that contributes to them financially."It's possible to support GNU/Linux while condemning the Foundation. It's also possible to support Linux (a kernel alone) without giving a damn about the Foundation. It's not even a foundation, it's just a private marketing group jointly owned mostly by mega-corporations. Community is not corporations and Free software, even though it co-exists with corporations, should not be led by corporations because it leads to disaster. All corporations measure things like revenue, not freedom, and they may always compromise freedom if that contributes to them financially. In a similar vein, governments aren't corporations, municipalities are not corporations and bad things happen to both when corporations take over them. ⬆
