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 else’s work for backdoors and other “unnecessary” hooks, to make sure the kernel was safe to use. Now, I just don’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 😢

I don’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?
