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.

Just proves to me that this should've gone to remediation so much earlier. Losing three important contributors to the Kernel, because people were scared of involving the Code of Conduct Committee from the start, is a shit sandwich, regardless of whoever you want to blame for this.
I'm not gonna lose sleep over his departure but the Linux foundation could do a lot to improve the professionalism of the project instead of dumping money on chasing AI.
