Maybe it doesn't, maybe it does. Maybe it should and maybe Tencent is creating precedents. Plenty of questions. All I see is: Linux Foundation is based in San Francisco, key people are all perfectly well speaking English and LF should do anything what is possible to make the projects accessible globally, using a lingua franca of technology.
