Quite the contrary. The Linux kernel is trademarked. Linus isn't a jerk and doesn't prevent distros from patching it. Mozilla's trademark requirements violate Freedom #2 The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. We're NOT allowed to make changes (patches) without their permission. This is defacto non-free. I understand we work with upstream but that shouldn't prevent us from maintaining it. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
