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.

We need more need to normalize companies stepping up to pay for security development for opensource products they utilize. If companies aren't putting FTEs to cover their risk of using a product or service then they should be held liable for any damages that causes them or their customers. This is for more than FOSS and for more than CVEs but also critical errors that cause delays in business continuity.
The issue is many c suite are just now under standing this and many justice systems seem behind on this.
