Just my 2 cents on this long discussion I read after coming back from my vacation: - all this story around Martin is so sad :( - whenver I read "Sun failed" "Sun died" I always think: if Sun was failing, why would Oracle buy failint stuff? To me, actually didn't fail, just sold at a very good rate, and I bet the guys (Scott etc) may be very happy with their money! To me, a failing company is one that has nothing more to sell or no one is buying anymore... - I understand Garret points about Desktop on illumos, but...you know...I like it and I'm still commited to it! So...we want KMS/DRM! - Also, by working on desktop components, I inherently advanced also userland components to support it, and also I would never had a libreoffice 5 component that, in headless mode, becomes a very promising server component! Last words: if only Martin would write more concise and forget about politics here... :( I have him friend @ Facebook, and he's a nice guy, even though he spams a lot about his view about politics and so on...it's just his own view...and his firefox patches have been amazing and allowed me to port them to latest thunderbird too! Thanks Martin! ;) Just my 2 cents.

(Yes I understand that if the code is suitably licensed such threats may be empty.) More to the point, I need to make sure that we have the ability to support the software prior to integration, and that means I (or someone else) needs to deeply understand the code. - Garrett On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Alexander Pyhalov a...@rsu.ru wrote: Garrett D'Amore ????? 22.08.2016 22 :07: No, that is specifically included the ban, for all the reasons mentioned — at any rate now that Oracle’s code for KMS is posted under a liberal license, I think we the whole point is moot. Hi, Garrett. I thought you could be interested. I've imported Martin's sources in oi-userland (for now in my fork, not official repository). I've tried to do it so that Martin's changes are easily reviewable. Binaries work for me on Intel HD 4000 (and not on GM965). There are some small issues, but generally it looks fine. Perhaps, you (or someone else) would be interested in reviewing the code. I think such code should be shared between distributions (and of course would benefit from competent reviewer). And honestly, I'd like to see someone supporting it at least a bit:) As you can see, Martin's changes are not so enormous, and of course, reviewable . https://github.com/pyhalov/oi- userland/commit/2fd8b52ed6514f cc0c7ff9048519590fc3d155b1 - his changes, https://github.com/pyhalov/oi- userland/commits/drm - my oi-userland branch with imported drm code. --- System Administrator of Southern Federal University Computer Center ------------------------------ ------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member /archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member /archive/rss/182180/22003744- 9012f59c Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member /?&id;secret =22003744-e9cd8436 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com illumos-discuss | Archives | Modify Your Subscription
