I urge people not to make a personal witch-hunt out of it.
If you disagree or agree, fine but keep the personal stuff out of it.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This article says more about the author than it does about the linux foundation.
Their stated purpose is:
… so it sounds like they’re doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing. Just because an idiot might read the name “the linux foundation” and conclude that their activities should be exclusively confined to “linux-ey stuff” does not make it so.
If you’ve never been on the “excluded” end of exclusive practices then the DEI stuff is fairly unfulfilling, but this type of research and reporting is absolutely what a non-profit should be doing to support open source and build more robust and effective communities.
Author also doesn’t seem to understand how organisations like this are funded. They receive donations for specific projects. If they don’t undertake the projects they don’t get the money.
