wait a second - these grsecurity folks are *selling* kernel patches ?
how is that compatible w/ the gpl ?
Please explain to me why I may not offer to sell a codebase subject to
GPLv[23] licence terms.
By selling, I mean, you'll first have to pay before you get the code.
But anybody republish it at will (as long as complying to GPL), so
how can that business model work ?
Please note that FSF itself has been selling collections of GNU software
for well over 30 years.
Software *collections*, Distro. So, you're paying for the transport
medium and the collection as a whole, not the individual packages.
Anybody can pick out individual source trees from commercial distros
and redistribute them at will. You just can't do that with the
distribution media 1:1.
