Without bad intentions: Could you point me to some of the cases you are talking about? I am honestly interested, can't promise I will read everything the next hours, but I will definitely read up on it.
"Allwinner is joining the Linux Foundation to support Linux and to improve what we see as two important open source software development capabilities: collaboration and compliance" http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2015...
Allwinner GPL violations: https://linux-sunxi.org/GPL_Violations
Other ones - just google big sponsors of LF + gpl violation, there are a few.
"Allwinner is joining the Linux Foundation to support Linux and to improve what we see as two important open source software development capabilities: collaboration and compliance," said Jack Lee, Chief Marketing Officer, Allwinner Technology. "These two concepts are critical yet difficult to master for new Linux community entrants like ourselves."
Is the Linux Foundation "supporting" Allwinner? Or is, as I suspect, Allwinner paying them dues?
How can they have a member organisation which plainly goes against the goals of the foundation? And yes, even by statements like the one published on joining, it's supporting Allwinner by giving them recognition.
Both? The accusation being made is that Allwinner are bribing them to ignore GPL non-compliance.
