Initially, #linuxgate won't have big effects on software quality. This is because most nerds are shitlibs, so there is a large pool of SJW-friendly programmers to draw from. /1
Maybe 10% to 15% of programmers are right-wing. You can run all of them out, and you can still have enough talented people to update glibc, git, curl, and all that. #linuxgate /2
Problems start to happen with the apolitical. Most people aren't political and resent having politics dragged into work. These are the people who foolishly think they can argue against a dumb policy or defend someone unjustly run out. #linuxgate /3

Vai chegar ou já chegou na timeline de vocês uma discussão sobre os termos do novo Código de Conduta do #Linux. Aparentemente alguns desenvolvedores não gostaram do CdC e estão querendo cancelar suas contribuições ao kernel, supostamente ameaçando o Linux. Thread.
O Linux é gerenciado pela GPL2. A licença não menciona capacidade de cancelamento (revoke em inglês). Isso está mencionado como uma brecha que essas pessoas poderiam usar para cancelar o licenciamento do seu código. Na prática, isso é falso.
Essa thread do Stack Exchange dá as bases legais. Você pode ler pra se aprofundar.

Na prática somente se houvesse quebra dos termos da licença isso seria aplicável.

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.
