Grsecurity has been here for a while and I don't think common people know of it at all, they hardly know of what Linux is and half of them run it on their phones. Those who know of it will also understand that running outdated versions on outdated kernels isn't a fault of Grsecurity. Grsecurity isn't really a brand or needs to be defended.
- throwaway000002 11y agoThat defence of the "meaning" of the trademark is not up to you to decide, that's for the owners of Grsecurity. Similarly, Google presents its derivative work as Android, and it exercises its rights vigorously to defend the perception of its marque.
- RaleyField 11y ago> not up to you to decide Obviously, I'm just pointing out the fact that there are different groups of users for both products and one group isn't likely to be influenced by how others use the trademarked goods. Android has common people for its clientele, Grsecurity has security professionals that will judge it based on its intrinsic merit and not on what some subsidiary of Intel once did with it. Grsecurity de facto doesn't need to be defended, even if de jure they are entitled to the protection. That's why this is nothing but a money grab, what bothers me though is that they try to package it into something that it is not.
