Linux: GPLv3, DRM, and Exceptions (KernelTrap.org)Linux: GPLv3, DRM, and Exceptions (KernelTrap.org)Posted Oct 23, 2006 6:32 UTC (Mon) by anonymous21 (guest, #30106)In reply to: Linux: GPLv3, DRM, and Exceptions (KernelTrap.org) by bojan Parent article: Linux: GPLv3, DRM, and Exceptions (KernelTrap.org)
This argument was made for prohibiting regular phone devices from any but the ATT monopoly and Baby bells. It is good for society to be able to run cell phones that are under the control of users, same as with regular phone.
Secondly cell phones have two chips, one runs linux and the other proprietary software. They can DRM the proprietary chip, and leave the other chip/software free. Yeah, there are sensible solutions, but if cell provider wants to absolutely dictate (to the very last bit) what the user can do, cell provider need to find something else and go somewhere else.
