Linux Foundation spends just 3.4% of its money on Linux
by Turbocapitalist from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T68W)
Bryan Lunduke went through the document which the Linux Foundation has tried to pass off as a financial report and noticed that the Linux Foundation spends just 3.4% of its money on Linux. So 96.6% is a mixture of overhead and wasteful activities, mostly the latter. However apparently no details were given about either, no details at all and Bryan does not link to the report. However, he's been accurate enough in the past so it is likely he is spot on with this.
If a larger percentage of that $177 million USD budget went to actual Linux, a lot of old code could be removed or refactored, in addition to a lot of other improvements. A mentioned, the Linux Foundation exists to represent its members' interests within the kernel. The warning was not heeded when the community representation was eliminated. It's not too late for Linus to do what he did with the OSDL and take his trademarks and walk, but it might be too late soon.
