The Linux Foundation is a non-profit consortium founded on 21 January 2007 as the result of a merger between the Open Source Development Labs and the Free Standards Group.
The Linux Foundation’s mission is to protect and standardise Linux by providing the centralised resources and services needed to compete effectively with other operating systems.
