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.

As I wrote: sanctions. That's what compliance means.

I gotta say, that seems likely. Not sanctions in a direct way, but indirectly through funding or other assistance.

Exactly. But mods here are too butthurt to accept that and rather delete my comments, so they can live in their delusions - which was my point
