Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: More about Linusgate

[quote name="blackwater"]There's an article on Linux Weekly News which talks about <a href="https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/765108/f1a80a6d6a6ff0f4/">the new Code of Conduct</a>. LWN is normally the place to go to find out what is really going on in Linux. But in this particular case, the article seems weirdly incomplete. All I can get from the article is that: 1. Linus issued a public apology for not being "an emotionally empathetic kind of person" and "contribut[ing] to an unprofessional environment." 2. There is this new Code of Conduct thing, which Jon Corbet was somehow involved in. Reading between the lines, it looks like one of Linus' corporate sponsors is applying pressure. So he probably decided it was worth it to bow and scrape a bit, to keep the gravy train on its tracks. There was probably some kind of incident which blew up, which they don't want to talk about. The whole thing is depressing and stupid, but not unexpected.[/quote]
