"...and all such warranties, express or implied, are hereby disclaimed, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose accuracy, completeness.." My eyes caught on: "warranties" ... "disclaimed, including" ... "accuracy" ... "completeness" which made me immediately wonder what a user's recourse would be if the download(s) from the Samsung open source centre are incomplete. It would seem to leave users without a remedy to obtain the "complete corresponding machine-readable source code" if it did prove to be incomplete. > But, as Armijn Hemel pointed out at 15:40 (EDT): >> Then get it from Gitorious where Bradley put it: >> https://gitorious.org/binbang/exfat-linux > > You can feel free to take distribution of that code from me, under > GPLv2, via the aforementioned repository. :) Indeed, after Armijn made me aware of it that is what I did, but there was no mention of that repository in the SFLC press release. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlIRXtcACgkQ7+w3pCnNYIC+BQCgzzGiSMj9bN1E0eMOB34AIPhU XGMAnid8APGKnIwl9Wigv6fYVnLfvlp9 =u9oi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
