For me it is about the ethics among other things. I do not know to which goverments Zerodium is selling, much like any other zeroday broker. Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised if selling to Zerodium is illegal to begin with.

By taking the KernelCTF approach I get my bounty, I don't get into legal trouble, and I get to contribute to the Linux kernel VR community which means a lot to me

Thank you for having morals and giving this away to the community. Governments already have enough power that they don’t need more. I respect this very much, it’s hard to find people on hacker news who aren’t dyed in the wool capitalists.

There is a diverse mix here and always has been - it's one of the best things about this place.

Rolling up a statement to apply to a whole group of people is defined as stereotyping and not the highest version of critical thought. To state all Capitalists on HN would sell a CVE to the highest bidder is just as ridiculous as saying a Communist/Libertarian/Socialist would.

Thank you, appreciated.
