Then they should try to free themselves from it.

And governments should wise up and exempt them from any kind of petty stuff.

In the balance between geopolitical conflicts and Linux, the latter is the petty stuff.

This is not something that needs balance.

And they have quite different kinds of petty:

When Linus gets petty, then there's a proper rant, somebody gets red in the face (but you don't get to see the pics), and some news interns can write headlines.

When politicians get petty, then people in foreign countries are killed.

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.
