I don't think he wants Linux to be a kingdom who is afraid of what happens when their king dies. If the people aren't empowered to take the code, make it their own, and continue owning their devices, then they weren't in it for the freedom, just the freeloading. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cerement@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 year ago permalink fedilink source parent
