I don’t think Linux is an example of this at all. If I’m not mistaken, the “mainline branch” of the Linux kernel has always been controlled by Linus Torvalds, not by the community in general; and if you wanted to create your own version of Linux, you wouldn’t be allowed to call it “Linux”, because Torvalds owns the trademark on that term.

How does that contradict what I said?
To me, your post seemed to imply that the mainline branch of Linux is selected by the community rather than by Linus Torvalds.
