'cannot be part of an effective prevention measure' Posted Jan 20, 2006 3:48 UTC (Fri) by karim (subscriber, #114) [Link] Ah ... yes ... thanks for bitting ... At last someone stepsup to the challenge ;D
It's worthy to note that the problem you allude to is
Think no glibc ... think selinux ...
Not that it's easy to get it right. The hacks we've seen on

'cannot be part of an effective prevention measure' Posted Jan 20, 2006 8:04 UTC (Fri) by xoddam (subscriber, #2322) [Link] "the problem you allude to"There's a problem? I'm not alluding to a problem, I'm working out how to exercise my rights under the GPL :-) I understand that if I receive a box with a differently-licenced operating system then such exploits may violate the DMCA and its equivalents in countries (such as my own) which have free-trade agreements with the USA. The purpose of the DRM clause in the draft GPLv3 is to ensure that GPL software is not used to take away the rights of its users to use the software as they please. Given that there is no GPLv3-licenced kernel, and that if there ever is one it is not likely to be used inside such restricted devices, *somebody* has to break bad laws and put up a spirited defence to them in court or a time will come when they are considered normal and therefore proper.
