The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org)The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org)Posted Feb 27, 2004 17:01 UTC (Fri) by mmarq (guest, #2332)In reply to: The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org) by gtaylor6 Parent article: The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org) Just an idea... Since its "Linuxprinting" it could be a good idea to pass the foomatic engine to inside of kernel space... i mean only the lower driver engine that foomatic represents (with the "per printer driver" in userspace or ring 1 as an example), and not the rasterizers, filters or spoolers... That could represent a small fork in the actual code base, but an added improvement to security, debugging... and specialy an added improvement in gray areas and confusion concerning the status of licence of the code... ...and who knows?, part of a really advanced Human Iinterface for Open-source software(printers need human interventin anyway).
