GNOME Board of Directors at Microsoft's GitHub

GIVEN Red Hat's long-known (if not notorious) grip on GNOME and pertinent parts of it (the list is very long), we were not exactly surprised by the above finding. IBM's influence aside, there's also Microsoft, which not only has Miguel de Icaza but also Stormy Peters. It's almost like Microsoft/IBM monopoly/duopoly somehow managed to get a grip on GNU/Linux through GTK/GNOME, if not through Linux, GNU at large, and KDE/Qt.

"It's almost like Microsoft/IBM monopoly/duopoly somehow managed to get a grip on GNU/Linux through GTK/GNOME, if not through Linux, GNU at large, and KDE/Qt."The GNOME Foundation's Stallman-hostile messages (not the first time last year; some of the leadership of the GNOME Foundation has since then joined Microsoft, working for Microsoft directly) will cost the Foundation in credibility. Last month they settled with a patent troll instead of squashing the software patent after IBM/OIN had stepped in. Microsoft too claimed to be 'helping'. They're not helping; they just help themselves to the cookie jar. ⬆
