I doubt all the companies that did contribute lots of resources would have done if it was bsd. It's hard to ensure the results of a change would have in the future, but companies would just ignore it because of license (ie: my company) to others that would likely keep private changes because they were allowed to. given the way big companies work, I doubt samsung would contribute everything they did if they didn't have to... it's a hard and painful process, they had to do, i guess they would just skip if they were allowed. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 Contact: http://www.gustavobarbieri.com.br/contact ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
