Yeah, a bunch of the worst free riders and malicious consumers all in one place.

All they're really missing is Oracle and Bambu Lab.

Just another opaque and exclusive subproject of the Linux Foundation.

That's just your typical list that makes up the Linux foundation.

It might not be the idealistic flavour of open source you prefer, but it's the flavour of open source that's actively in use in most tech companies, and that also forms the makeup of most corporate open source participation (e.g. also the top corporate Linux contributors).

It won't be out of the public eye if it is part of Linux Foundation, it will be open.

Not...really? It's pretty normal. Tech companies share intelligence and knowledge all the time -- there are a lot of birds of a feather and consortium groups out there.

Since a lot of places are close in proximity, companies sometimes run private fiber lines and such to let peers download updates without competing with the entire world lol.

Everyone's fighting the same fight. Sharing and collaborating are normal things.
