GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge)GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge)Posted May 16, 2006 2:43 UTC (Tue) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge) by Arker Parent article: GPL concerns halt Kororaa live CD (NewsForge) All quotes from the "cease and desist" e-mail on kororaa.org are about the CD, e.g. The GPL license clause 2 does not allow combination of GPL and non-GPL work in a bigger work (your live CD) when the 2 pieces are not reasonably independent.I don't think making the drivers modular will make any difference, since all the arguments would still apply. The only reference to modules is in the nVidia reply. They apparently want to show that they provide a way to distribute their software, so they ignore or pretent to ignore the issue of the CD image being a derived work of both the kernel and the drivers.
