Unfortunately, given Linus' well known and widely self-acknowledged reputation for being an asshole, he's toast. They WILL get him, whether he's done anything or not sexually. It's a shame; I always felt he could have afforded to not revel so much in his righteousness and unpleasant personal demeanor. But we all make our own choices.

I'm not at all saying that he deserves or asked for what is to come.

I'm just opining that for a brilliant person, he has been kinda dumb with regard to keeping a lower profile with respect to the rampant political correctness.

I wish him luck in the coming days.

Possibly. Linus is in a unique position in the world. He gets paid to develop his hobby--which he created and he, essentially, owns. If he's "forced out" from wherever he works, he'll just take the kernel development to another place. If they try to force him out of the kernel altogether, he's quite capable of shutting down the entire product--and no one could fork it off without his approval, as he controls the basic code.

It would be the end of the world's most popular OS. Not sure anyone with any influence would allow that.
