AWS and other cloud vendors would have to distribute any changes they made to kernels they run in the cloud (e.g. Amazon Linux). Why would that be a problem?

- mort96 6y agoYea, the big issue with licensing Linux as AGPL would probably be that Linus explicitly doesn't like GPL3's ant-Tivoization stuff. Requiring SaaS providers to distribute their kernel patches is, I believe, completely in line with the goals of Linus's choice of license.
