Huh? Don't you consider the kernel + glibc + xorg today a good "Linux |
| 11 |
stack"? Isn't the "Android stack" another example of a good "Linux |
| 12 |
stack"? |

Not at all, the Linux Foundation is not doing any of this. The Linux |
| 17 |
Foundation is a vendor-netural orginization that provides a "safe" place |
| 18 |
for companies and the community to come together and collaborate on a |
| 19 |
number of different projects. It also provides a place that sponsors a |
| 20 |
few people to work in a vendor-netural way on projects they wish to work |
| 21 |
on, with no say by the LF or anyone else on what they do with their |
| 22 |
time. And it supports the kernel.org orginization in various ways as |
| 23 |
well (financial and legal and administration.) |

Hope this helps, |
