Once the GPL is invalidated, promissory estoppel will allow some

Perhaps the Linux kernel will continue to be improved under a free

You still don't get it, RJ. The GPL is the most popular free
licence, and that popularity has a reason.
Working on a BSD kernal is so much less popular than working on
Linux. That has a reason, too.
Reason? So do birds. flowers and trees. So what is your point? You are
correct (for once). I don't get it. Statements usually have to make
sense. What's your rhetorical focus?
Sincerely,
RJack :)
