I'm sorry, but must be missing something. How does a GPLv3 display server prevent locking down the hardware? Afaik, the anti-TiVoization stuff only applies to the software that's GPLv3, not the stack it's running on.
- dkuntz2 13y agoSome argue that if it makes calls to a GPL application, it's a derivative work, which means it must also be GPL. This means that if one part of the stack is GPL, everything higher must also be GPL.
- eltondegeneres 13y agoCan you point me towards some people arguing this? It's patently false. If it were true, every single application on your typical GNU/Linux box would also be GPL.
