Linus responds to Hellwig - "the pull request you objected to DID NOT TOUCH THE DMA LAYER AT ALL... if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG."

you went from “ignored” to “lack of response” in one sentence there. either way you’re implying a malicious ignorance on Linus’ part

the contributor posted 29th and went “public” on the 4th. they lasted a whole 5 days before throwing their toys out of the mailing list pram into social media

Linus deemed this behaviour problematic and started to assess the situation. contributor quit

eventually Linus responds by reminding Hellwig of the situation. nothing has changed. R4L continues with the same rules as before.

do you really think burnout happens because of one incident? it takes time and Hellwig and co have been the problem that entire time, not Linus
