Your read on that was very different than mine.

Linus controls Linux. Anyone who disagrees with how he runs it is free to fork it because the source is open.

But good luck maintaining a Linux kernel fork for any length of time unless you’ve got lots of contributors lined up and a solid maintenance structure ready to deploy. It worked with LibreOffice and OpenJDK, but it’s failed with far more projects than it’s succeeded with.
