    What’s the point of being so pedantic?, they were obviously not advocating for more Roku installs.

      Because the distinction matters. The corporate raping of Linux has to stop being tolerated or else nothing is solved. The technical details of the kernel don’t actually matter; the licensing and openness is what matters. Hell, if the Windows NT kernel got magically relicensed to AGPLv3 tomorrow it would instantly become the superior option just because of that.

      Linux doesn’t fucking matter. Copyleft matters.
