Now that is a bit waving in the air. GPLv2 forbids Tivoisation theoretically but practically it didnt stop them doing it practically. I agree with Linus that software licenses should have their influence only on the software part and leave the freedom of the hardware on which the software runs to the hardware manufacturers.
But was it the goal of GPLv2??
And what does Andrew Morton think of all this? I really want to know his opinions.... - 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/
