Summary: A note on the lack of conflict of interest in Techrights
NONE of the writers and contributors here has a conflict of interest to declare. As far as we know, there was never someone working for a GNU/Linux vendor writing here. There were some community volunteers, sure, but none of them was connected to a company we write about such as Red Hat or Google. We are very strict about this. Speaking for myself, I would not work for a company like Google (they tried hiring me 3 times over the years) as that would invalidate a lot of what I wrote and promoted independently. Instead, I work in academia and industry, mostly administration/development/research, which makes the subject of patents very relevant. On the side I also run a couple of companies which in no way relate to what this Web site covers. Over at the IRC channels, none of us except Jono Bacon works for a GNU/Linux company, so allegations about us being “biased” would be very weak. We don’t do this for our wallet, just our ideology/beliefs. Techrights is about justice in technology. it’s not profit-obsessed. █
