From Ted, the ext4 maintainer, on the LKML a few days ago.

The thread is about mainlining bcachefs but the post from Ted, who from what little I know seems about as trustworthy as ext4 has been over the past few decades, gives an interesting overview of the business approaches to software of IBM, Red Hat, Google & Sun Microsystems.

Of general interest to myself but mainly posting as it seems relevant to the recent changes in RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma & Fedora over the past few weeks/years and gives some context of how we got where we are from ~2010.

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.
