1. Nobody, not even the Googles or NSAs of the world do that. No single entity has the expertise nor resources necessary to maintain a fork for every open source project they use -- forking and maintaining Linux alone takes teams of people. And no, going full psychosis mode with LLMs is not going to save you.

2. This project is AGPLv3.

Forking and maintaining Linux does not take teams of people. I've been at it for > 10 years and maintained support for my 15 or so various SBCs/mobile devices, writing drivers, debugging, cleaning things up. It's a weekend project every 3 months + whatever you want to put in for development.

And there are others doing it for projects like Armbian, openwrt, etc.

People in AI psychosis don't know that.
