I'm not the FSF, and I don't speak for it, but it seems to me that this would be "mission accomplished". The goal AFAIK is not to force people to enable others to hack the hardware or software to their liking. The goal is respect for the freedoms, it's not making it more difficult for others to do what you can and want to do. I guess it also goes under the name "Golden Rule". Others might phrase it as tit-for-tat, or quid pro quo. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org} - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
