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.

That doesn't seem to be the case. From what I read on HN, the dev quit because he thought it didn't make sense to submit CVEs for temporary/wip solutions, and F5 thought otherwise.
So as I see it, the developer quit because he didn't agree that a CVE should be opened for a work-in-progress solution that was live on Nginx.
So basically just drama?
That's what I read, too.
It gives a new perspective on the subject.
Sad to see the workforce being split up, though.
