Forgive me for a little off-topic question but I have a difficulty to understand a technical issue about this all.
The Linux Kernel cannot easily switch licenses because of the large amount of people involved in it (i.e. contributed code on which they have copyright). But many of FSF's GNU projects are similar - for example GCC has contributors from many many companies and individuals, from which I presume there are who might object to GPLv3. So how come they can so easily move to GPLv3 ? Don't they have to have permission from all of those contributors (many of which are Linux companies and distributors who might prefer staying at GPLv2) ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
