Therefore i don't understand .. Isn't this then a violation of the GPL ? What someone does in the privacy of his home is outside the scope of the GPL, this means the kernel repository is the private toy of Linus and he leaves the decision who may play with him to Larry. This is also means that Linux history recorded in bk is not part of the public record. This is an unfortunate fact and not a complaint BTW, but Larry has not much use for facts anyway, when I try to summarize the facts around the publicly available information as best as I can, Larry doesn't even try to prove me wrong and instead continues to attack me personally. I don't really care about the latter, but that he gets the support to do so is the personally very disappointing part. :-( bye, Roman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
