    Then they should try to free themselves from it.

    And governments should wise up and exempt them from any kind of petty stuff.

      In the balance between geopolitical conflicts and Linux, the latter is the petty stuff.

        This is not something that needs balance.

        And they have quite different kinds of petty:

        When Linus gets petty, then there’s a proper rant, somebody gets red in the face (but you don’t get to see the pics), and some news interns can write headlines.

        When politicians get petty, then people in foreign countries are killed.
