- So why is Linus T. pushing it then?
-
Are you assuming that because he insists it become part of the Linux kernel that it will make it a "loser"???
I quote:
Linus Torvalds, the founder of the Linux operating system, threw a curve ball to the open-source programming community Thursday.
In a posting sent to a key Linux-focused e-mail list, Torvalds outlined a controversial proposal: Nothing in the basic rules for the Linux operating system should block developers from using digital rights management (DRM) technology. DRM tools are technological locks or identification measures that range from ensuring a software program is genuine to protecting a movie against unauthorized copying. - Posted by: No_Ax_to_Grind Posted on: 01/11/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
