Is there an example of a hardware company that has been forced to hand out a private certificate because of the GPL v3?
- equdi 7y agoNo because no serious company uses GPL v3 software. (For example Apple avoids it, etc.)

- sn_master 7y agoWhy am I getting downvoted for posting an article that's core related to GPVv3 and to the discussion ? It seems anyone opposed to GPLv3 is being shushed by the pro-Stallman mobs.
- Dylan16807 7y agoBecause it does not require the release of private certificates to comply with the anti-tivoization language. If you said something about how the company would have less control over the hardware, so they are reluctant anyway, instead of offering that link as an incorrect answer to the question, then you would not receive downvotes.
