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.

Just so odd how they went about the whole thing. Such an uncalculated way to do things.
Why not wait until you have all your explanations in order backed by lawyers before doing the release? Why did they shit on the carpet first and then explained their reasons afterwards after lots of horrible attempts at justifications that completely missed the point.
It's blatantly obvious and non-controversial what they're doing. That's why.
Excluding developers because of arbitrary sections issued by the most war mongering country in at least the last 10,000 years is not non-controversial, as it turns out.
Jackass says most war mongering ignoring the actual country invading another.
Typical.
Jackass forgets that the US invaded and occupied another country for most of the 21st century.
Typical.
I'm sorry, even if you go back to the original Russian empire, no entity or arbitrary collection of entities containing a "Russia" has invaded more countries or killed more civilians than the US.
That's the plain fact of the matter. Invading more than 70 countries does that.
Russia bad, the US is and will always be worse.
