"Nazis"? Ugh, have we already sunk that low in this thread? What would you call a company that took legal action against another company that was violating the copyright license for source code it had created? Ok, so why is it any different when an individual developer does the same thing? Actually, if you look closely, a large majority of the copyright owners of the Linux kernel today are very big companies, with lots of very good lawyers. If you want to go up against IBM, Intel, HP, Novell, Red Hat, and other legal teams, fine, go violate the copyright of the Linux kernel, for all of these companies have publically stated that it is a violation of the license that the Linux kernel was released under to distribute closed source Linux kernel drivers. Are you calling those companies "Nazis" now? So sad, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
