I was merely questioning Ingo's reasoning that Sun wanted Linux's drivers as badly as he made it seem. All the fuss about waiting for and going to GPLv3 wouldn't get them that. Moving to GPLv2 would, and still, they aren't doing it. That was my point. FWIW, I share most of your assessment and wait-and-see attitude about Sun's situation. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} - 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/
