Techrights — Over 97% of the 'Linux' Foundation's Budget Goes Not to Linux

According to the Linux Foundation's own 2025 annual report, only 2.95% of its budget is actually spent on Linux. The rest goes to unrelated initiatives, prompting criticism of mission creep and 'openwashing.' Linus Torvalds is reportedly no longer among the top 10 highest-paid people at the organization, and critics question whether the LF's use of the Linux trademark is still justified given its spending priorities.
