strange behaviour after upgrading from Jessie to Stretch

My "server" is a bit of an antique. It's a Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H with a Phenom II 940 processor, an SSD and 4 2T drives in a RAID 6 array plus 8G of DDR2 ram. A while back I found it necessary to add a Vantec PCIe SATA 6Gbps card with 2 internal SATA ports after ports 4 & 5 on the motherboard

Well, you are confusing civil and criminal law. I assure you winning a laches defense is no sure thing, nor does it necessarily win the entire case, it is more likely to only limit the period of the offense for which the plaintiff may seek damages. And being a passive participant in Linus discussi

A laches might be created if all of the rights holders actually had the capability to enforce and were refraining from doing so. But they are restrained by finances. So, I don't believe there is any laches.

Bradley is uncomfortable with your (not mine) cc list. You should drop him from the next message. Things are different for a collective work. I don't believe Linus can represent the desires of all copyright holders.
