Ted, you have to remember why Chromebooks have a way of turning off signed boot. It's actually to comply with GPLv3 requirements for the GPLv3 code used in ChromeOS.
Google takes licensing seriously (as both know you and I know :-).
No idea why we do the same for Android phones though. No GPLv3 in there :-).
- kmeisthax 6y agoGoogle could have stripped GPLv3 code out of ChromeOS like they did with Android. The reason why they provide owner overrides is entirely a matter of corporate culture.
- jra_samba 6y agoYes, this is true. Google corporate culture is one of the big reasons I work here. There are few places that take Open Source as seriously as Google does.
