  You: Quote Me: The quote is not backed by any proof You: The quote is from the article

  Where else would it be from and how is that relevant?

    So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?

      Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it. Of course it was too late and he didn’t do enough about it, but that was never in question.

      Linus said he’d fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn’t done anything.

      All I see in the email is that Linus said he will speak with the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did, and GN thanked him for it. I don’t see GN requesting any other action in the email. That’s definitely not “hadn’t done anything”. It’s not enough, but again that was never in question.

        The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn’t. Steve thanked him expecting that Linus would do what he promised but then Linus did nothing.

        3 years later after GN publicized the unethical behavior, Linus then, and only then fixed it.

        the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did,

        But he didn’t. He promised to but never did until 3 years later. That’s why Steve called him out.
