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.

It's more common than you might think. A lot of companies have open source codebases. In fact, I think almost every software engineer job I've had so far have had at least a little public code.
That has been somewhat my experience too, but it's rare to find somebody working on such code every day. It's enviable to me.

NC is not for code. Its literally the cancer that prevents people from being able to have a job developing FOSS
No, they're doing it for their comment, not suggesting others use it for code. It's the new take on "I do not give Facebook permission to use..." trend that went on years ago.
Unless there is a signature option i asssume doing it by hand also. Its like 3x retro.
