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.

Do you think it's acceptable to make olympicians first bow to the west before they can take part in games?
Should Isn'traelis first denounce the genocide before being able to contribute to the linux kernel or take part in olympic games?
Not the west. The global community.
...and should Israel be under sanctions? Absolutely.
"global community"
