"foo inc." releases a GPL driver for Linux and gets publically humiliated in the "linux source code hall of shame". Perfect. I can hear the laughter from Redmond over here (and it is 12000km away). Press release: "If you support Linux, you may get flamed and humiliated in public for doing so. Don't do it." Grow up. There is more to life than coding style that is not "Al Viro compatible (TM)". Sigh, sometimes, sometimes, I _really_ understand the BSD folks when they call the Linux community "a bunch of unkempt nerds that need to get a life". If they only would use sane init scripts. ;-) Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
