Jeremy Mahoney writes:

“It has come to my attention thru one or two sources that
Michael McLagan,
owner of linux.org may be
contemplating selling the domain.”

“Appearantly there have been a number of pressures and he feels
that the site needs the work of more than himself to be
representative of the work we’ve all done. He has been heard to say
that requests for assistance have gone unanswered and that he can’t
keep up with everything that needs to be done.”
