When have you met someone that's touched Linux code

Where is there a single "repo" that you can download and compile, instead of installing from binary

Where is there a single "repo" that has open discussion

It's controlled opposition, hurr durr free software movement to oppose Windows

1) Me. My director at work, had previously worked on drivers (in the kernel) for several years - when he worked for IBM. Lots of companies pay their devs to improve Linux because we all use it, and the GPL license prevents them from just having their own internal one.

2) https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=linux-git. -> https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux

I have been building linux-lqx for a while, actually.

3) Repos have code, not discussion. That's like asking "Where is the repo for open discussion on civil liberty? There isn't one? Oh, well, liberty is a scam, then.".

4) The "Permissive License" and "Code of Conduct" movements have completely succeeded in cucking the Linux Foundation, which is the most important factor in the development of Linux. Linux is probably full of backdoors, and it has certainly had its development stalled by interests like Microsoft using their trannies to control the Foundation.

It actually doesn't IF you aren't distributing it. It's generally considered a Stupid Tax, though, because you end up having to maintain that code to keep it in sync with upstream.

There is a lot more nuance to the terms than what I quipped, you are correct. The whole "Tivoization" debate as Exhibit A.

And even there, "Tivoization" doesn't apply to Linux, because Linus purposely kept the kernel GPL 2. But yes, there's a lot of nuance around copyright and GPL.
