GPL-only symbols and ndiswrapperGPL-only symbols and ndiswrapperPosted Nov 2, 2006 12:53 UTC (Thu) by arcticwolf (guest, #8341)In reply to: GPL-only symbols and ndiswrapper by pimlott Parent article: GPL-only symbols and ndiswrapper
But there is a difference between "we won't make it easier for you" and "we will make it more difficult for you on purpose". I can very much understand that the gcc folks aren't willing to spend time and energy on implementing features that essentially would be of use only (or mostly) to vendors of proprietary front-/back-ends, but they aren't going out of their way and spending and energy on implementing restrictions that make it even more difficult to do that and that don't serve any other purpose, either. (Or are they?)
