What you continue to miss is that "the spirit of the GPL" is some mystical thing that is not well-defined. You have one iterpretation, and this thread has shown that others have other interpretation. >It is not fair to claim that GPLv3 changes the spirit of the GPL. For some people it is fair, because they have interpreted the GPLv2 differently than others for 15 years now. Obviously Linus feels that the spirit of the GPLv2 is exactly what he wanted and that it allows TiVo to lock down their hardware. You obviously disagree. Stop telling everyone else they are wrong and you are right when they disagree with your intepretation. The GPLv2 never defines "the spirit of the GPL" so others are free to get different meanings from it. - 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/
