FSF uses compliance FUD to push GPL v3
- sciurus 15y agoFor some more context, I've submitted Linux Weekly New's story on "Android and the GPLv2 death penalty" at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2912822 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2912822
- tzs 15y agoNo evidence of any Android vendor violating GPL? Really? http://lists.gpl-violations.org/pipermail/legal/2010-May/001992.html http://lists.gpl-violations.org/pipermail/legal/2010-May/001... https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/sjs/htc-willfully-violates-gpl-t-mobiles-new-g2-android-phone https://freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/sjs/htc-willfully-violate...
- JoshTriplett 15y agoThat's an amazingly poorly researched article. The post from Bradley Kuhn that the news story links to mentions a lack of GPL violations by Google, but then specifically points to "the wide-spread GPL violations related to Android/Linux that Matthew Garrett has been finding." (http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/android_tablets/ http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/android_tablets/). The article ignores that part and pervasively treats GPL violations in Android as "unproven".
