China Mobile Joins the Linux Foundation

eldavojohn writes "As a gold member, China Mobile has joined The Linux Foundation putting it next to AMD, Google, HP and Cisco in the roster of the foundation's gold members. This marks the very first time a Chinese enterprise has joined The Linux Foundation. Earlier this year, we saw the first Chinese company openly participate in open source and now China Mobile, ranked 77th in the world by Fortune with over half a billion customers, has joined the foundation that fosters the growth of Linux."

Watch out!!

China Mobile probably just joined so they could get access to the Linux source repositories and steal the code.

However...

Only the Platinum members are allowed to bug the kernal. I think that Gold members just get a discount.

This is the year

Not more innovation stolen by the Chinese

[scourfish]

Just like all other technology ventures that have gone to China, the chinese are just going to infringe on the innovation from the western world's Linux technology and copy it without payi- oh I see what you did there.
