'You have to divulge your private key' meme'You have to divulge your private key' memePosted Jul 2, 2012 18:08 UTC (Mon) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198)In reply to: 'You have to divulge your private key' meme by landley Parent article: The FSF's advice to distributors on UEFI secure boot
It doesn't say that at all, the FSF is explicitly saying they are fine with the GPLv3 on systems with boot-time signature checking, as long as modified software is loadable by the end user. In the specific case where a vendor distributes a boot locked system with GPLv3 GRUB then it's the vendor's responsibility to comply with the license, not by distributing a private key but by fixing the firmware to allow key management/disablement.
