You never know. I suspect he may have come under tremendous pressure from his NATO government to drum the Russians out. Since, it was open source, everybody could check everybody elseā€™s work for backdoors and other ā€œunnecessaryā€ hooks, to make sure the kernel was safe to use. Now, I just donā€™t know. I am suspicious.

This move is everything but "free and open source" and unfortunately we're once again witnessing false promises and backstage governance šŸ˜¢

I donā€™t know for sure, but could we be witnessing something else? Something like a government take over of a previously free and open source project? From past performance, Linus Torvolds was and has been a pretty straight shooter! What would be the motivation and incitement for him to break his word?
