news:news:Posted Apr 24, 2003 18:18 UTC (Thu) by coriordan (guest, #7544)In reply to: news: by dlang Parent article: Linus on digital rights management This isn't that big a deal. Linux is only one project, if Linus doesn't like v3 he can use v2. Another option is that he can dual license the kernel under both versions, he already accepts dual licensed code so long as one of the licenses is the GPLv2. This dual licensing situation wouldn't sovle the signed-kernels-only hardware problem but it would allow kernel hackers to use v3 if they want. Ignoring Linux, I'd like to see v3 address this issue becuase I release software under the GPL, and I wouldn't like it to be used in a way that doesn't give users Freedom. RMS's comments on this issue would of course be interesting but this situation really isn't that important. The problem of cripling hardware to remove users freedom has already been thought of, and Linus's thoughts on the matter are irrelevant. Ciaran O'Riordan
