More accurately according to the GPL v2 theory Linus advanced the laptop you paid is a shared property of the laptop manufacturer (who can install whatever he likes without your input thanks to DRM) and the kernel developper (who gets the source code). You as end-user are only there to give this technical elite the money they need to continue their activities (I'm forcing the point? Find me one anti-GPL-v3 message in this thread that acknowledged the buyer/user had any right) This thanks to DRM which was not provided for when GPL v2 was written and has been retroactively declared kosher. -- Nicolas Mailhot
