From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Okay, I think I understand your point better. While I still think his perspective on demanding users is pretty reasonable, I agree (and didn't make clear enough) that Martin's reaction here comes off less-measured than it should've. He definitely isn't all victim, he's stoked some flames and not done his part to de-escalate on many occasions, that's for sure.
This whole saga really is a shame, the guy clearly is talented, and there certainly are issues with how the Rust4Linux integration has been handled. I really hope things can improve systemically here.
Out of curiosity, what were some of the projects you managed? Much respect for your open source work, shit's not easy.
