I keep talking about how the Linux Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and most of the others are 501(c)(3) orgs, and this isn’t a *direct* consequence of that, but it’s also not *not* a consequence of that. Who is the org *for*? The Linux foundation, like all 501(c)(6), exists explicitly for the benefit of its members; 501(c)(3)orgs exist for the benefit of the community, broadly.
We spend a lot of time talking about this when setting up the Plan 9 Foundation, and it was important to me to get it right.
imagine if the official linux foundation account helped you with your wifi
