Hi Richard
Would these solve my problem?
No, not as long as it's *your* machine. It would need to be a machine
designed by a third-party that's completely independent of you.
I would like to follow the approach of let's say MMIX (a virtual
architecture).
1. Write a totally GPL-ed tool flow (gcc), that will include a NAC backend
2. Write an open-source, free simulator for the NAC, assembly-like
representation.
3. Have all the relevant code in a public repository for examination,
contributions, etc. Always under a GPL-compatible license.
I think this should be viable.
That's not the relevant legal issue and it wouldn't be the FSF that's
deciding, but a court. I've given my non-lawyer opinion of how I think a
court would likely rule on this issue given the precedents I'm aware of.
At this point, I suggest you find a lawyer and get a proper legal opinion.
OK I understand and I really thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Nikolaos Kavvadias
