The Linux kernel and digital rights management

The Linux kernel and digital rights management

I feel the "signed kernel" problem is something for the FSF lawyers to worry about, not Linus. What technically can Linus add to Linux that would prevent a signed kernel? And even if there was some prevent-signed-kernel code in Linus' tree, there is nothing preventing a hardware vendor from forking their own tree and removing just that anti-DRM code.

I think all we can do is vote with our dollars. Donate to the FSF and support only non-DRM hardware vendors.
