Linux Foundation quietly drops community representation

These changes all happened shortly after Karen Sandler announced that she planned to stand for the Linux Foundation board during a presentation last September.
Karen is the executive director of the Software Freedom Conservancy, an organisation involved in the vitally important work of GPL enforcement. The Linux Foundation has historically been less than enthusiastic about GPL enforcement, and the SFC is funding a lawsuit against one of the Foundation's members for violating the terms of the GPL.
Of the people, by the people, for the people. That's what the idea behind Linux was.
