I see a lot of the complaints in the lkml thread being about lack of
transparency on gkh/torvalds' side in that they have refused to explain
exactly why they took the action in that commit.
Are we sure this has anything to do with this particular EO?
Rather than speculating on which unnamed sanction caused the linux
foundations legal team to soil their breeches it would be more
productive to commit to handling something like this transparently if it
does happen to PHP in the future.
Let's hope it doesn't.
