From the comments:

Linus reports to IBM/RedHat and their requirements are now Linux/Linus requirements. As a result today we can officially stop calling the Linux kernel "open".

~~And a large part of the open stack as well, including g-libraries, gnome, wayland and everything hosted on freedesktop.org.~~ *

EDIT: * No relation at all.
