So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.

      The issue I see is that Greg did spoke in a way that would not undermind Linux leadership. If Linux was out, I’m sure Greg would have said stuff publicly much earlier.

        That makes sense too. I guess it’s a very difficult balance to hit, for all concerned. I think a lot of the famous outbursts that happen on LKML are probably an inevitable side-effect of that balancing-act, and of maintainers being stretched in multiple directions.
