  Yes but without a change to the license itll never go into the kernel. While that might make not change things operationally for some people, not having it ship with the source means itll always be a second-class citizen.

    That doesn't matter to anyone other than GPL fans in practical terms if Debian and Ubuntu do their thing right.

      The GPL aside. Being accepted in the kernel would mean the immense rate how development which happens there.
      • kev009 11y ago
        Again, that's from rosy GPL glasses. At worst, ZoL would be forever one or two kernel releases behind (and is basically reality now), which means very little to production users running LTS distros.
