Summary: The fast-aging founder of Linux spoke as shown above (2005); so much has changed since then…
=> fast-aging
TWO years before the Linux Foundation Mr. Torvalds was bragging about maintaining his own mail server in his own home (now it is controlled by his employer, which works for Microsoft et al) and he even boasted about source control that’s self-hosted. Of course years down the line he was pressured to accept Rust (Microsoft-controlled and Google-funded development) despite his long-held principles. Maybe because he's no longer in control, he’s just being used for his trademark and he is treated like merely a mascot, swaying like a penguin for corporate branding and openwashing. █
=> Linux Foundation | his long-held principles | he's no longer in control
