Because a GNU userspace is "distributed" along with proprietary software?
- majewsky 8y agoIf that were a GPL violation, >90% of Linux distributions were violating the GPL.
- tannhaeuser 8y agoHow so? Distros provide source code, unlike Docker images.
- umanwizard 8y agoMany distros (I’d guess almost all of them) bundle proprietary software. The Nvidia graphics drivers are the first example I can think of. (This could be out of date since I haven’t dealt with it in several years)
- majewsky 8y agoAlso binary firmware blobs.
