LPC: Fitting into the kernel ecosystemLPC: Fitting into the kernel ecosystemPosted Sep 18, 2008 13:31 UTC (Thu) by hppnq (guest, #14462)In reply to: LPC: Fitting into the kernel ecosystem by Lovechild Parent article: LPC: Fitting into the kernel ecosystem Indeed, why didn't Greg make his point in the Novell canteen instead of at this relatively high profile public conference? The way I understood it, is that not a single distributor of (free) software is required to do anything, except adhere to the license(s) under which the software is distributed. Confusing this kind of clarity with more or less meaningless statistics and emotional pleas is business as usual.

This is the difference between the spirit and the letter of open source software. The letter must be followed, and is. The spirit should be, otherwise high profile developers will crap all over you for not being part of the ecosystem.
