An associate who participated in Groklaw says the trouble - however subtle - began when the LF kicked out the community representatives. Then Microsoft quickly took over the Foundation and promoted Windows as "Linux" (WSL). The LF would then attack the GPL, too. It was meant to guard the licence of Linux (GPL). It would instead attack GPL defenders and protect violators.
