You as end-user are only there to give this technical elite the money they need to continue their activities (I'm forcing the point? Find me one anti-GPL-v3 message in this thread that acknowledged the buyer/user had any right) This thanks to DRM which was not provided for when GPL v2 was written and has been retroactively declared kosher. --=20 Nicolas Mailhot --=-2ebrixYraxzLb35pAAIL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Ceci est une partie de message =?ISO-8859-1?Q?num=E9riquement?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_sign=E9e?= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkZ3eXwACgkQI2bVKDsp8g0reQCg7/2ey1rn/kMqLC0Xr92f3nO+ PA0AoOJKWXKSVxnwjNat0vDsZSlNafP0 =oJj6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-2ebrixYraxzLb35pAAIL-- - 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/
