Well... with a name like that you'd be forgiven to think so, but this is the same Linux Foundation that threw decades of good development, code reuse and packaging practices with their "compliance" spec, killed any community-led respins (Smeegol, Fedora) with their trademark policy (though "MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan" is alright for some reason) and is trying to remove all GPLv3 code from the distribution.

According to Wikipedia (yeah, so it MUST be true!);

"The Linux Foundation (LF) is a non-profit consortium chartered to foster the growth of Linux."
Exactly, Linux. Not Free Software or even Open Source.

Let's face it the only 'ecosystem' (I hate using that word...it's become dirty)
Another word for it is food chain, and of course anyone who talks about it really wants to be at the top.
