My favorite part of this is when they say this

> Linus Torvalds is not in charge and is no longer compensated fairly, either. The highest paid people don't even use Linux. Torvalds is no longer in the top 10 (not anymore).

And then link to a filing that shows his “compensation” being lower than the others but also having an extra million dollars in the “other” column.

It kind of looks like if you count the extra million dollars earmarked for him he would be the highest-paid person on the list?

Still far better than most charitable funds.

Another angle is that most donations to Linux kernel are in the form of paid employees doing kernel work. I wonder how much the kernel need besides that.

We need a BSD foundation. :)

Well this is in line with the fact the LF has been quiet about these new Age Verification laws. The LF should be very vocal about how these laws will hurt Linux.

It is almost seems like the LF wants these laws :(

15M on corporate BS

16M on event services

only 8M on the kernel

Thanks for reminding me why i do not support nor respect this criminal foundation full of fraudsters

As a 24 year linux user, linux foundation is cancer, they don't use linux themselves.

I have some experience with the CNCF and oh boy is it a huge powergrab with excuse of inclusivity, wokeness and all the stuff that comes with it. Rarely seen so many self serving people that are in it for themselves as in the CNCF.

Yes, downvote away.

What I see here is a great risk, something not immediately recognizable. A "hundreds of millions" initiative fueling a "trillions" market. I suspect that controlling the LF can lead to a really huge power over markets or, at least, a very cheap kill switch.
