Linux Foundation has financial backers. He’s gotta give them lip service to keep them excited and happy. Anthropic is now a Gold Member. Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon are all Platinum Members.
FOSS has always been subject to corporate meddling in their governance. There’s a reason we call it Linux and not GNU-Linux. GNU gets no money so GNU goes nowhere.
Linus gives a headline using agents, Linux gets millions to continue doing real work. That’s the game they are playing, for better or worse.

Linus regularly posted on Google+, it’s more like he himself isn’t that into foss and sees everything as a utility to use
Linus has been critical of Gplv3. I dont think he would use Gplv2 again if he could start over.
I wouldn’t even disagree with considering it. Look at how corporately independent the BSDs are… and they are just as capable in most fields as Linux.
I’m unsure which license is the best path anymore. That said the outcome would likely be the same eitherway.
