Getting called "Paid Actor" by Linus Torvalds

A recent commit by Greg K-H to remove several Linux kernel maintainers due to vague compliance requirements has sparked controversy in the community. Some have raised concerns about the lack of transparency, suggesting that even a basic citation of the NDA or law involved would be better. The situation escalated when Linus Torvalds accused those questioning the commit of being Russian trolls, and later referred to a critic as a 'paid actor.' This has led to discussions about how open-source projects should handle such sensitive decisions transparently.
