The SCO Group: we're not dead yet
"I specially liked the way he said that the iPhone is based on Linux and
therefore violates the GPL."
Enderle certainly seems to have an agenda, of course, but how is the iPhone, which ships with WebKit (based on KHTML), not violating the LGPL license? The end user can't swap it out with their own build, as far as I'm aware.
I would say it's the same licensing issue that prevents LGPL code from going onto a PlayStation game disc, even if any source changes are published.
(Unless "Safari" on the iPhone isn't using WebKit...?)
