    Not kill, it’s an attempt to marginalize Linux, maybe.

        It’s not the same. Linux is unkillable. However the proprietory software purveyors can try to slow down the growth of Linux.

        It won’t work.

          If you marginalize it so its no longer usable on the modern web to do all the things you need to do… Then yes, thats the same as effectively killing it.

            Although I’m sure Red Hat and Ubuntu will implement it eventually to keep their enterprise clients compliant.
