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 obvious that a tool meant to have traceable builds amd reproduction of binaries will be used by lots of places relatedbto security, military, etc.

Yes.

It’s like putting the head in the sand and denying that the world exists.

We're talking about people who aren't even payed to contribute to the project... you know how it is, not everyone would work in Lockheed Martin.
