This is actually eye-opening. One problem I have is: the sponsors of LF basically own Linux and control it? Linus doesn’t have any of his own personal opinions on top of that?

If that’s really true, then what is even the point of having a ‘Linux Foundation’? Because I’m like 99% sure Linux as a whole won’t ever have a lack of sponsors.

They had no reason to wait till the AI boom for this, could have done it long ago when google assistant was the only one allowed access to these things.

Can’t they not let Android get locked down in a few months too? It’ll almost become as bad as iOS at that point. Who knows they might even block installation of other OSs in the future.
