You do know, correct?, that the Copyright holder can simply rescind the license if he is displeased with the way the licensee is behaving - since the license is not supported by a contract. The licensee would then rush to the Federal Court in his district to seek a declaratory judgement regard

You are incorrect. GPL version 2 section 6 states that one shall not add additional restrictions between the agreement between the licensee and further licensees. It governs that relationship vis-a-vis the protected Work. GrSecurity has, indeed, stipulated an additional restrictive term. From:

Bruce Perens and the EFF have addressed this, it is indeed a violation to add an additional restrictive term such as that: they are threatening a penalty, using a negative covenant, if the customer utilizes the permissions granted to him (and GrSecurity) by the Copyright holder of the original

Getting GNU/Linux onto a laptop these days is quite the difficulty if you don't know what you're doing because of Secure Boot. It's not a plug and play thing like once it was. Probably discourages alot of users. Linux doesn't have any security after GrSecurity went proprietary (something that

I was describing the steps one needs to go through to get a Gnu/Linux system installed on a laptop. I did it a month or two ago. It's not as easy as it was in the past because of secure boot. You must use the pre-installed OS to disable the secure boot: you _cannot_ do it from the bios. On 20

Dear Ruben Safir, If you're going to take legal action, take it. Don't just "threaten" forever. Your "threats" and unhappiness have no meaning if you do not take the next step (note: legal "threats" are not threats) 200 dollar filing fee, have one of your friends help you pro-bono. If you have

The GPL is the social contract upon which this whole movement is based. It works because it doesn't interfere with everyone's various religions. These other "social contracts" are extraneous impositions, by people who worship whatever America's current religion is. On 2020-02-14 04:51, Ruben

They got rid of RMS because "the industry" (working white men) don't want to see a repeat of the Cisco suit, where RMS was victorious, and won big. The rest of the current FSF are do-nothings and won't sue anyone for copyright infringement of the GPL. On 2020-02-21 16:27, Ruben Safir wrote:
