From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Quick question, has the relation between KDE (the organization) and Qt company improved? I remember reading about the tension regarding Qt 6 that will be available under different term such as waiting time for non paying license holder to use latest release.
For reference https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-community/2020q2/006098.html
Ah this is one of those subjects that I'm just not too familiar with myself. As far as I understood it, KDE has a license granted to them by the Qt Foundation which should allow them to continue/press on but admittedly I've not looked into it too much myself unfortunately.
