Lot's of embedded vendors have plenty of GPL violations - Linksys and Ubiquity for instance in the case of grsecurity it was appearently Wind River. Apparently even no source code even if you purchased a device.
- eropple 9y agoSure, but--so? grsecurity has the copyright on what they've created. They don't need the Linux Foundation to enforce violations and there's no cause to force the Linux Foundation to do so if they don't feel it's best for Linux; copyright is optionally enforced in most jurisdictions (unlike trademark in the USA). On top of that, you're miffed that the Linux Foundation didn't "ask grsecurity or PaX if they want to get paid for helping", which is orthogonal to everything? Your posts don't make sense to me, and I've been observing this whole mess for a very long time. What you're saying reads as if the Linux Foundation should be the heavies for a private company that has never-not-once played by the same rules as the cooperative development community they work outside of.
- sighsagain 9y agoWind River is owned by Inter which is in the Linux Foundation funding KSPP to rip off more of grsec. It's very related wouldn't you say?
