I agree with this sentiment, but the reality is that changing the Linux kernel's license would require the consent of every copyright holder, many of whom may not be able to be tracked down or give their consent. So in practical terms, the license for Linux CAN'T be changed: they're stuck with it (it being GPLv2). -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OGB member CEO, My Online Home Inventory Voice: +1 (250) 979-1638 URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.myonlinehomeinventory.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
