Torvalds is being a horses arse here. He should participate in the GPL  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Where is the real Donnie?  Loverock Davidson | 01/26/06
Torvalds is not my master, and he did not write the kernel by himself.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Alright  Loverock Davidson | 01/26/06
Um ok  Suicida| | 02/06/06
Doesn't make sense  NonZealot | 01/26/06
The kernel is GPL, if Linus steps over the line and pisses off enough  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Not a chance, read the GPL!!!  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
Torvalds could get hit by a bus tomorrow and the kernel would not miss a  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
There is still a copyright holder  spamagnet | 01/26/06
Right, all of the individual owners can decide.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
A leader away from the GPL3, yes indeed.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
The thing I don't get  Michael Kelly | 01/26/06
SPOT ON!  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
Re: The thing I don't get  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
You know what I noticed?  nomorems | 01/27/06
So if he releases it under v2 instead of v3 he should be replaced.  osreinstall | 01/26/06
But it wouldnt be called . . .  Suicida| | 02/06/06
He is participating  Michael Kelly | 01/26/06
A leader would not make blanket statements this early  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Work with Stallman  JimSatterfieldW | 01/27/06
But ho doesnt have to  Suicida| | 02/06/06
Who are you to say what he should or should not do?  balsover | 01/26/06
It is the comunity that Linus needs to listen to, NOT me. I am just giving  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
And he did...  thetargos | 01/26/06
Linus has a right to say what he likes!  mdsmedia | 01/26/06
Stallman is the loser here  OhMyGosh | 01/26/06
No, Stallman is gaining mindshare, but he also has to listen to people  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
The thing is that RMS has a clear vision, whereas Linus wrote a kernel  hipparchus2001 | 01/29/06
10 Reason not to listen to you.  IceTheNet@... | 01/26/06
cool it  hipparchus2001 | 01/29/06
No Donnie Boy your the horses A$$$...... If anyone can be replaced...  Can you hear me | 01/26/06
Torvalds: No GPL 3 for Linux  Loverock Davidson | 01/26/06
I think your two brain...  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
Is that you again kernel_panic?  osreinstall | 01/26/06
You bet it is ......  I_am_hellion_z | 01/27/06
How's the snowbank in the Great White North eh?  osreinstall | 01/27/06
Yup, it's me...I think they deleted nix_os...the  Colonel_Panic | 01/27/06
What is this beating you speak of?...  Colonel_Panic | 01/28/06
Yup...  Nix_0S_Fan | 01/28/06
Not EVERYONE agrees with Windows  djc1309@... | 01/26/06
But...  Loverock Davidson | 01/26/06
Loverock..Learn to read context!! NT  mdsmedia | 01/26/06
I did read it, what didn't you understand? (NT)  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
What YOU didn't understand was..  mdsmedia | 01/27/06
I understand completely  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
At least Linux supports my hardware.  jgmsys@... | 01/26/06
I found changing mouse cures this  hipparchus2001 | 01/29/06
Good bye linux, hello BSDs.?????????????  jrbeaman | 01/26/06
Loverock you're an idiot  mdsmedia | 01/26/06
Name calling really proves your point  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
When it comes to you it's all you're worth  mdsmedia | 01/27/06
My worth  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
Dude, you're a troll  Real World | 01/27/06
Its not trolling  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
Thank God somebody else sees it...  Nix_0S_Fan | 01/28/06
Take your  Linux Advocate | 01/27/06
And my point is proven  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
See post: Thank God somebody...  Nix_0S_Fan | 01/28/06
Re: My worth...Somebody call 911 'cause...  Nix_0S_Fan | 01/28/06
Yeah...then how come...  Colonel_Panic | 01/28/06
The only good bye is - Good bye Loverock Davidson........  Can you hear me | 01/26/06
LOL  Loverock Davidson | 01/27/06
fishing net  Scott W | 01/28/06
You are not going to get rid of me...  Nix_0S_Fan | 01/28/06
Looks like I need to give Linus props for being  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
4 once I agree  IceTheNet@... | 01/26/06
A see a fork in the road  zmud | 01/26/06
Linus is ony one person. We have to wait and see what the general feeling  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
One person that happens to hold all the cards.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
If you read the GPL license, you will see Linus does NOT hold all the cards  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Bzzzzt Wrong...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
No, you can take the kernel and start a new development WITHOUT Torvalds.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Good luck, never going to happen...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
There would be no lawsuits, only mindshare wars.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Guess you never heard of SCO  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
There would be no basis for a lawsuit, it is perfectly legal to fork GPL  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
That's what everyone said about SCO too.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
With SCO, there are grey areas. With the GPL, there is NO doubt that  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
You show a fundamental lack of knowledge  Bill Ward | 01/26/06
RGMBill, you head it dead on.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
You can fork the kernel WITHOUT Torvalds permision. You just can NOT change  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
you're right  Scott W | 01/28/06
Get a clue all of you  hipparchus2001 | 01/29/06
The kernel consists of many peope works  B.O.F.H. | 01/26/06
Not true  Yensi717 | 01/26/06
Nope, Linux can NOT change the kernel to BSD.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
You just contradicted your earlier post...  djc1309@... | 01/26/06
He is getting more confused by the minute.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
You are confused, Linus has NO legal control over the kernal, only  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
When you wish upon a star ....  osreinstall | 01/26/06
Yes, Torvalds COULD refuse GPL3 code in the kernel HE maintains.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
The thing is, he maintains the official version.  osreinstall | 01/26/06
This worries me  mdsmedia | 01/26/06
The last time that I looked, Linus owns the kernel  balsover | 01/26/06
Linus does NOT own the kernel, he only owns the code HE wrote, but, HE  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
There IS another kernel you know....  Michael Kelly | 01/26/06
The Hurd moves slooooooowly...  Scrat | 01/28/06
Linux has been losing mindshare since the Bitkeeper fiasco.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Who said he was a leader?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
He is the leader of the kernel right now. He makes the final decisions.  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
ANd the decsion is, NO to GPL 3  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
So far, he only said he would not change his code to GPL3  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Once again you contradict yourself  mdsmedia | 01/26/06
It would be nice if people would read instead of react....  jrbeaman | 01/26/06
You are still clueless......  jrbeaman | 01/26/06
Be quiet !  osreinstall | 01/26/06
oops, mybad  jrbeaman | 01/26/06
OH Donnie Boy lets hear lets hear yor wors of wisdon?????????????/  Can you hear me | 01/26/06
He could refuse contributions under GPL3, but the kernel can also be forked  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Forked kernel  lwvirden | 01/26/06
It happened to BSD  Roger Ramjet | 01/26/06
Yes, a majority would have to be VERY unhappy with Torvalds before  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Cluelessness showing again....  jrbeaman | 01/26/06
AMEN  Disturbed_z | 01/27/06
Ohh DonnieBoy stop with your Generalismo BS!! NT  mdsmedia | 01/26/06
do we have a DONNYBROOK?  jrbeaman | 01/26/06
Forking doesn't change the license  Bill Ward | 01/26/06
I beleive that GPL2 and GPL3 code can be linked together, is that correct?  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
Sort of.  Sxooter_z | 01/26/06
I agree  Tony Agudo | 01/26/06
Hey Steve, oops, I mean Loverock...  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
Yet another well thought out and significant post.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
Fine. My position on this is...  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
Has nothing to do with Mr. Gates  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
Who's idea and who developed DRM...  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
Developed by IBM,  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06
I didn't say Micro$lop wrote it...  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
MISTER Gates, my, how he commands...  nix_os_fan | 01/26/06
Courtesy is cheap and goes along ways...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 01/26/06

ZDNet's baiting headlines ...  George Mitchell | 01/26/06
Agreed, but what is your opinion on combining GPL2 code with GPL3 code??  DonnieBoy | 01/26/06
The more restrictive license (GPL3) takes precedence ...  George Mitchell | 01/26/06
You can't do that!  Sxooter_z | 01/26/06
The question is if you can link GPL2 with GPL3, NOT if you can change the  DonnieBoy | 01/27/06
Not Good!  osreinstall | 01/26/06
Thanks osreinstall and sxooter ...  George Mitchell | 01/26/06
