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.

The Linux kernel is nuts to think that MIT are the only bad actors to have ever shipped malicious code to them. Random corporate devs can break the GPL on a regular basis whilst receiving no oversight yet this wont be stopped at all
Either sort your shit out or move it out of the Linux source tree. It's a travesty that we're accepting so much shoddy engineering just because it comes from corporate donors
