You do understand the difference, don't you?
You do understand that Linus is one of many people involved with producing the kernel, and most of those people either (a) work for other companies, and their job allows or protes them working on the kernel; (b) work for other companies and just do "moonlight" work on the kernel; or (c) are retired, etc.
It isn't the case that Linux Foundation pays all or even very many of those people a salary, technically steers kernel development, etc.
It is very obvious that you didn’t read my first post... That would be post number 1 in this thread. Read that and stop wasting people’s time with your mischaracterizations.
