Summary: Residing in one of the world’s most expensive office spaces we have hundreds of people and dozens of millionaires who made a living by misappropriating the “Linux” brand — promoted endlessly by millions of volunteers around the world for over 30 years (those promoters actually used Linux, they didn’t just exploit the name)

THE Linux Foundation was the focus of a series that we started on Monday and finished earlier today. Here are the 10 parts of that series: (towards the end we focus on the contractors, which are also the focus of the video above)

We hope more people will recognise the Linux Foundation for what it really is rather that what it hopes people will think of it. The Linux Foundation is a front group for mostly proprietary companies and it is outsourcing projects primarily to Microsoft GitHub, which is also proprietary. The main purpose of the Linux Foundation is to enrich people who run the Linux Foundation, i.e. people don’t use Linux (or barely use it). They only ‘use’ (misuse) Linux as a brand. █
