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

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
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.
He is just a rumor, like people talking about myths now.
fucking why? are we gonna freeze him?
also, why not 420? come on. the joke was there judge, fucking take it
ooookay?
Some people only got a hammer
This was the Jury, not the judge.
The judge might throw another year on there.
or just say life
Okay a life sentence can be up for parole after like 20 years.
judges are usually humorous
The idea is that if he is paroled he then has to serve his 419 year sentence.
Also he'll probably get murdered in the first month or so.
maybe maybe not.
might make friends with some neo-nazis or muslim extremists even.
