You are wrong: The user's choice is restricted to what the copyright holder permits. It would be a nightmare if non-contributing users could make decisions that are against the expressed intention of the copyright holders. This would render the whole concept of copyright law and also copyleft pointless. > But to get this choice, the distributor has to deliver the binaries, > too. Novell is much more than just a "distributor". Novell is part of the kernel community and cannot do things that the rest of the actively contributing community dislikes without being excluded from the community in the long term. You are totally over-estimating your position as a probably non-contributing user. (Correct me if this assumption is wrong.) As such, you have no rights to make any choices other than the ones granted by the copyright holders. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
