I’m not convinced the Linux COC thing as anything more than just noise at this point. I searched after you brought it up J and found several messages from the same guy on the Linux kernel mailing list trying to incite people to remove their code but I didn’t see anyone agreeing with him.
And if you think it through it’s a fairly stupid position to try to take. If they remove their code I don’t think they’re hurting anyone other than themselves because I’m not sure any company was is going to want to hire a person like that to write code for the kernel.
Most of the code these days is written by companies anyway so the individual Kotor making a self-important stand is somewhat unimpressive.
There are lots of capable kernel hackers out there.
I said wait and see if anything actually happens before you claim the sky is falling.
There’s always bsd.
