So.........one box with 2 cpus would be?
I'm so confused I don't know which to buy.
Which one did you get, Joe?
I couldn't figure it out. I'm not sure if even buying a license will help me, since it allows me to only use the 'binaries', not the source. Since I have to have the source to install drivers, how the heck do I comply? And which bits of code need to be licensed? The whole kernel, or just the parts that they claim were derived from their IP?
As someone on Slashdot pointed out:
"...their "Linux license FAQ" does make it clear that their IP license only entitles you to use Linux binaries, not "their" Linux source.
Since they still refuse to identify what Linux source they "own", it's unclear how you're supposed to stick to that part of the license, or indeed how you're supposed to get Linux binaries in the first place. The whole thing is a bit weird."
I assume that once you have paid for the licence they will *send* you the binaries - for that price, I expect them to be hand delivered to my door, on a velvet cushion!
