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.

Yeah, I love to see people being called "racist" over not liking corporate facades, or "neo nazi" over referencing a clown. Always very productive.
There's a simple solution to this: if Red Hat doesn't like the guy or his code, don't fucking use it. They're the ones who banned him from Xorg and reverted his changes.
Actually, why do I expect a corpo to be morally or ideologically consistent? Silly me...
