If this wasn’t enough, there’s even more among the silver members, such as OpenAI and NVidia.

Re: 3: because most of those companies probably rely on Linux for their operations, while a few like Microsoft and Samsung, do have some serious conflicts of interest.
Your point would stand if any of those companies had recently shown a shred of evidence that they’re capable of planning further into the future than next quarter. :(
I mean, it’s a bit like not letting a cat around babies because you saw it kill a rabbit once. Corporations are safe around these projects in a way they are not with their own proprietary code.
in the case of microsoft, it’s like not letting a cat around babies because you saw it scratch the baby and bite the baby and the cat said “i’m gonna eat that baby” and licks its lips and bites the baby again
I totally get what you’re saying. Microsoft engineered Embrace, Extend, Exterminate, where it would take open standards, extend them in a proprietary manner, then use their market dominance to kill the open standard. Bill Gates has definitely killed some babies.
But I’m saying it can’t kill the baby if its contributing directly to an open source project that everyone has equal access to.
Android is using the Linux kernel as its base.
Oh, I thought it originally used it as a base, then developed independently. So the Linux kernel updates find their way to android?
