Actually, he does not allege Linux misuse at all. He claims that there are folks not living up to their end of the GPL in that they have taken some piece of software that has been licensed as GPL and modified it and have not put their modification back into the GPL. Some are technical violations, for example Linksys WiFi-G router runs linux and for a time Linksys did not provide the source code to that box. They were held to task and now are in full GPL compliance. (Please note he is not including Linksys in his allegations, I used it as an example). He is particularly versent with vendors who use some version of either the Linux 2.4 or 2.6 kernels in their products. He is one of the primary maintainers of the kernel-based stateful- packet handling network modules in the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. This is known as netfilter or iptables. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
