Piss off. 1) if you read the text of GPL, you will notice that "later versions" are explicitly limited to the versions published by FSF. Which makes your version rather irrelevant. 2) in case you've managed to miss it, Linux is *NOT* under "v2 or later". 3) discussion of FSF, their mission, their ideals or their imaginary pet polka-dot goats does not belong here. 4) pain in your heart or in any other parts of your anatomy that might have been involved in the creation of that wankstain is, quite frankly, none of our concern. -- 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/
