IIRC, established linux distributions that were using the stable patch set before could still have access to the stable patch after it closed. Did that change?

- lolidaisuki 10y agoAt least Alpine and Arch use the demo (testing) version. IIRC their initial announcement said that the distros can continue using the demo version and not the stable version unless they pay. And no distro can get the stable version even by paying because Brad knows that the distro would have to redistribute the sources as per GPLv2 and thus he will only make ridiculously high offers. There is no distro or any other consumer product that does or ever will have the stable patches. Brad is a greedy asshole and all around a bad person.
