I think the guy who made the commit owns the repo. So probably

Pathetic.

that seems to be the case

``` Not a Trump supporter, but the last thing I want to see when I'm just trying to get work done is more political BS... this is the wrong medium. ```

Is the most sensible comment

Nothing is safe from SJWs.

Linux is next

too late

I like the conflation of unrelated politics and requests for donations (to continue funding development)

Linus already bent over for some feminist.

his daughter most likely

In any case though, like some of the comments stated, you can just create a politically neutral fork

It is just effort though and fragmentation when it isn't needed.

The only problem would be if github et al decided to go partisan

they joined this i believe https://www.contributor-covenant.org/

So is there going to a purge of white males from the Linux kernel project?

yep, linux is on the list

https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.txt

There might be a purge of wrongthinkers from the main branch but there will still be shitlords working on linooks overall

"In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as

you'll have to find the right branch now

contributors already tried to find ways to pull back their code over this being forced on them. but there is nothing they can do but not work on it moving forward

A load of guys that contributed patches aren't happy about it and they can pull them anytime they like. So there might be a hard fork of Linux at some point

most likely

They don't need to pull code. Licensing dictates that they have to provide the source regardless

No

For Linux, yes. That's the point of GPL. Even if someone is a shitlord, they can use your software and they can modify it so long as they pass those changes on

What share of the project team is this load of unhappy guys?

They cannot stop the project from getting forked and their contributions being used by people they don't like short of changing the licensing

@devpav a growing one since some members already used this code of conduct to remove personal enemies.

They can't call it Linux though

Which I'm fairly sure *will* trigger a rush to get commits yeeted

I'm pretty sure they can keep the name, just not all the commits made under GPL

This happened already with a FOSS game I play

Linux is trademarked. TBH FSF and Linux Foundation are basically cults anyway.

Owner of the name decided he wanted a retail game, everyone told him to make it entirely himself. He did and it was bad. The OG branch continued to get developed under a new name

That's probably good for them if this SJW takeover damages the Linux brand.

What is more likely to happen is that everything will get a really PC name

No little in jokes, no rude comments in the code etc.

Suddenly all the commits will be Orwellian rewrites of comments instead of code improvements, heh.

That has already happened. I believe they have removed swear words

So, they erased Gaving from history.
