Wrong. At present, Arch can incorporate Linux code, and vice versa, under the condition that the combination is distributed under GPLv2. There is no incompatibility of license here, only an incompatibility of Linus's freedom to choose a license he likes with the FSF's desire to refine the instruments it uses to accomplish its social goals. > What's so wrong with GPLv2? > > Tiviosiation, Novel/Microsoft type deals, not being international > enough come to mind. Internationalization, I guess. How do the other two apply to GNU Arch? _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
