If someone starts reading right now the sources of the linux kernel will be able to understand every aspect and part of the code??? Do you understand every aspect? Is it still "opensource" or starts to be a "closedsource" software "product " despite the fact that is still free to the community. DONT say again the source is there ,you dont have but to read it. Someone in this list ( very popular ) has said some years ago that even now Micro$oft gives out the source noone will be able to do some changes and some of us wont be able to understand this product ever never. So in the name of this idea is still linux an "opensource" idea or a "closed" one delivered from those who have the information already to maintain it and give it to us freely. I tend to develop in linux only 4 years now and i tried to make some changes in the kernel so that they can conform according to my needs... i have to say that it was very very time consuming.....no doc...no comments...no explanation....I think that a lot of us have the same question.... "Opensource" || "Closedsource" ??????????? - 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/
