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.

Because no one agreed to a democratic decision. It's just randomly made up.
The poor devs aren't even saying "no". They're just saying "what the hell is going on and why didn't you ask us about this first".
Pretty poor form for the OP to use a "KDE Developer"-badged account when they didn't have any backing from the KDE developers to make the post. Makes it look a lot more official than it actually is.
