It is great in theory, but everyone seems to want to have their own
distribution so rather than working together for a common goal,
they're working apart. Theoretically, the improvements go into the
same pool no matter what but I wonder if they actually do.

I don't know if it will happen but I read an article this morning that
Russia is forking the Linux kernel as a fork you to Torvalds.

 
Will the Russians follow the GPL?  :-D

So far they pay lip service to it in Astra Linux.

Russia, China, or any other country that the US might sanction at the drop
of a hat would be stupid not to have a plan. China has Kylin, based on
Ubuntu. Cuba's Nova has been on again and off again. Like DFS they really
prefer Windows if they can get it. Then there's North Korea's Red Star OS.
I'm sure that's all sorts of free and open with their fork of Firefox.
