You are not. Please, stop pretending the end user has no say in the GPL. The GPL (v2 or v3) is written with the end user not the hardware manufacturer in mind. Also I can tell you the enterprises who make the living of Red Hat, Novell and IBM (to name some major kernel contributors) care very much about their part of the GPL deal. That is they can dump a supplier (hardware or software) at any moment because he has no lock on their system. Should the kernel devs ally themselves with entities like Tivo who put the vendor lock-in back in free/libre systems, said systems attractivity will decrease sharply (and it only takes a few managers to notice their Linux systems are just as locked as the usual proprietary ones) Tivo didn't make the Linux success. More Tivos can definitely undo it. --=20 Nicolas Mailhot --=-AHuWMhQjdyF76ebz/Bh0 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) iEYEABECAAYFAkZ4OqcACgkQI2bVKDsp8g2DFQCgnDZr55d6LeZs8f4R/Jsv+DHa O8AAn3WHTyd29hUTlvifuytyUbFiXeBP =3sEf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-AHuWMhQjdyF76ebz/Bh0-- - 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/
