This is about which FOSS devs are making bank off of FOSS. There are TWO(2):

*Linus Trovalds
*Bradly Spengler.

*Linus Trovalds is paid 1.3 million dollars per year likely under contract to forgoe the excercise a legal right he has: to sue violators of his copyright.

If he violated that agreement, (identified) third-party beneficiaries to that contract could attempt to seek to recovery of whatever liquidated damages are specified in that contract.

*Bradly Spengler simply adds a No-Redistribution clause to his linux-kernel patch. As he notes: the FSF and _SFConservancy_ all support him in this (it's 2020, he started doing it years ago, they have said nothing against him)

> Importantly, neither the FSF nor the SFC, nor in fact any actual lawyer agrees with this bizarre claim from an anonymous troll. More info about the source of the claim can be found here: https://grsecurity.net/setting_the_record_straight_on_oss_v_perens_part1
>  Thanks for doing your part, "Dr" to continue the troll's harrassment

>  >LOL. " #GRSecurity violates both the Linux kernel's copyright and the #GCC #copyright by forbidding redistribution of the patches (in their Access Agreement): which are non-seperable derivative works...

They both make millions from leveraging YOUR work. It's a con game.
