What the Linux Foundation (LF) Truly is: Lobbying Franchise

Summary: Linux Foundation (LF) in recent years is little but a bunch of corporate charlatans; it's quite evident when one critically looks at their official paperwork, which became suppressed

THE year 2019 was quite a year. All Linux.com staff got sacked [1, 2], leaving the site orphaned without prior warning. Some of that staff has since then quit writing altogether! Even in other sites... truly devastating.



"It’s all about large corporations and almost all the money is spent in the US, so it’s not international either."We now have a copy of the relevant form for 2019 (i.e. before COVID-19 impact and collapse of Linux Foundation revenues) and the video above goes through it. Jim Zemlin -- like his wife [1, 2, 3] -- seems to be defrauding a lot of people. He doesn't use Linux, he is besieging it in pursuit of money. He monetises the attacks on the GPL, on decentralised collaboration (he keeps shilling Microsoft's GitHub), and he generally misuses civil rights/good causes to confuse and deflect. The Linux Foundation is all about greed and it has nothing to do with ethics or morality. It's all about large corporations and almost all the money is spent in the US, so it's not international either.

"Be wary of what blogs too say about the Linux Foundation; in recent years the Linux Foundation started bribing blogs too (in exchange for ads and puff pieces)."We don't suppose any large publishers care to illuminate what's really happening. The corporate media protects corporations. Journalism is not harassment. If done properly, it does bother some people, corporations, governments, and non-profit organisations. That's how it is when you do the job and expose facts. But a sicker society cares so much about every person's feelings that humour is seen as rudeness and journalism is perceived to be "toxic". This is why Zemlin et al keep shaming the community. They want to dis-empower anyone who isn't a big sponsor. That includes Richard Stallman. Oversensitive people are a form of censorship tool. Sometimes they're co-opted/used by censors, wilfully or not...

Be wary of what blogs too say about the Linux Foundation; in recent years the Linux Foundation started bribing blogs too (in exchange for ads and puff pieces).

Don't expect the media to cover any of these issues. Wikipedia too spreads lies.

Facts, media



Twitter as a company
Unfortunately, Linus Torvalds has let Linux too become a company
