    The 100+ people at the company are not responsible for what happened, the 2-3 people that should have dealt with it are.

    That’s not how businesses work.

    Those 2-3 people were acting as employees of the company, executing business for the company. The company is responsible for those actions.

    You can’t just hand-wave it away as “our employees suck at their jobs”.

    You hired them. You authorized them to do those jobs. You are responsible for the manner in which they were done (or not done)

      Sure, but people are acting like Linus himself is somehow directly responsible for it, some people even acting like it’s intentionally malicious, when it’s more just lack of oversight.
