Summary: In an endeavour to better understand a tax-exempt organisation that’s a misnomer we “follow the money” and decipher who’s running it
THE Linux Foundation is a pseudo-non-profit that falsely claims to support Linux among other things. A very tiny portion of its budget is actually devoted to Linux, so it is just piggybacking the powerful brand. Microsoft is among the biggest clients, with the highest number of people in the Board.

We recently took a look at the top contractor of the Foundation, which is conspicuously small (there are companies with the same name that are vastly bigger) but receives an obscene amount of money. It does not even appear to have an office. So what exactly goes on at this foundation and is anyone really checking? Does the IRS scrutinise any of this? Are there auditors? Is there any oversight, except by the board which is stacked by corrupt companies, especially proprietary vendors? If not, then the community needs to study what we’re dealing with here and who it is fronting for. It controls far too many events and imposes on them a Code of Censorship. It basically monopolises the dialogue, tilting it all in favour of very large corporations. █
