When Linux adopted the Contributor Covenant, it's author had this to say

> I can't wait for the mass exodus from Linux now that it's been infiltrated by SJW's Hahahah

> Some people are saying that the Contributor Covenant is a political document, and they're right.

Well the suspicion is that Linus's daughter Patricia got pulled into Coraline's stuff (she's listed as a signatory in https://postmeritocracy.org/).

This explains everything. Linus himself is wealthy, doesn't report to anyone, owns a good chunk of shares in a few infra companies and can safely say f--k you to the SJW crowd. But he has a weakness - his kids and family.

Isn't it more likely that that just is and was her genuine position? Linus's daughter doesn't necessarily have to have the same political views as her father.

She likely has very different views. https://opensource.com/life/15/8/patricia-torvalds-interview

He wasn’t wrong on the second, it is very evident that it is.
