As explained, one can only be sued for license-violation in relation to items that are subject to that license - either in Israel, or in any other civilized country. > Also, Mosix is developed by you at huji which is a respectable institute. > Wouldn't it be immoral of you to exercise this kind of conduct in the university. >Not to mention the poor example you are giving your students to break laws that >morally shouldn't be broken? We did not break any law. As for morality, you write without knowledge of the circumstances and why we could not release the MOSIX source-code (until such time that we could). Unfortunately, I cannot elabourate further on that. > I mean, palgiarism of any kind is not tolerated in any learning institute. > And obviously this is what you do, since the writer of Linux intended his work to be >used in a certain way. (please note also that Linux was first developed by Linus at >his university). And we also intend our work (which was developed much before Linux) to be used in a certain way - why should Linus have this right (which we fully respect) over his software, but not us over ours? Is it the case that Linux had to be modified to accommodate MOSIX? rather, we had to modify MOSIX to accommodate both Linux and its peculiar license! > I must add also that this kind of mentality of steal and don't get caught is very >bad for Israel. We did not steal anything. > Ok, now after i said all that: Don't get me wrong, i like Mosix and i believe that >an institute like huji should use its resources to further the principal or research >and study.
