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.

Again, still love the gumption! Though I feel like there's probably a few steps you're brushing over. But even if I could (theoretically) pull all of that off, idk how skimming licensing fees would ever be practical to me, especially without losing my job for a "conflict of interest".
I'm a simple man that works slow to create change. I'd start a campaign if anything. Research and talk about viability. But if I'm putting energy into campaigning for anything; I'm campaigning for a union wayyy before I campaign for company-wide linux adoption. Help myself and coworkers first, before pursuing a personal tech-suggestion
Edit: maybe a psychotic serial-killer nurse would be better suited for that operation. That's not really me though, I kinda really love what I do; all things considered
Nope, the plan is perfect and only a counter-revolutionary would suggest otherwise. straight to the gulag.
Know any?
Well you wouldn't be stealing it for yourself, and its not like there isn't already a massive conflict of interest between execs who like money and staff who like treating patients.
You're funny though, ngl. Go ahead and do something yourself, of the same nature. Report back with your "accomplishments", we're all ears. Best of luck friend
No; your appropriation of the ~~revolution~~ weird-linux-install-murder-plot has convinced me that you are a cop and I must now flee underground.
I've been had! Welp, the cat's already outta the bag now, so might as well tell ya the truth; I'm actually a serial-killer-cop... aka, a cop. You can run, but you'll never be able to hide!
Edit: huffing, puffing, wheezing ...ok, maybe you can actually just run a bit, no hiding necessary. I'm going on another break; I need to catch my breath
