From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In practice it means that employees are allowed to end the call at will rather than "having" to continue to deal with them. That's the difference and it's as simple as that. No one is asking the employers to shield their employees from every possible harm.

Right so in practice employees shouldn't have to interact with people on github who are abusing them, but OP was making it sound like they had to do more than that, to me.
