Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
The article reports that according to the Linux Foundation's latest annual report, less than 3% (specifically 2.95%) of its budget is actually spent on Linux development. The author argues this demonstrates significant "mission creep" within the organization, suggesting the Foundation has expanded its scope far beyond its original Linux-focused mandate. The information was reportedly buried deep in the report (pages 58 and 20), requiring manual calculation to uncover.
