The Linux Foundation is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade organization. As such it's normal to look like an industry body of large Linux (and related software) using companies - and in the current tech ecosystem, those are predominantly cloud companies.

Yeah, but saying "The Linux Foundation is behind the fork" gives (to the casual reader like me) some Linus-related legitimacy.

They should have said "The Cloud Industries Pet Trade Org created a new fork so they don't have to pay nominal (to them) sums to support the software."
