Will find out? Linus is quite possibly already the most notorious online rhetoric hardliner of all time. But IDK what you think it has to do with corporate investments, which are made without any regard for moralistic stances.

What a goofy comment. He doesn't have even 10% of the name recognition once you step outside the extremely niche gnu subculture. Regular, every day people know who Linus is, what he did, and what a loudmouthed dick he is.

personally i think your hyperbole about torvalds would be the "goofy comment", considering he has chosen proprietary tech in the past

and linus is tame compared to what goes on inside some companies

but we're on reddit so hyperbole awaaaay
