Netflix already works on Linux: Android devices.
What, you were talking about GNU/Linux? See, that is not going to happen. Instead, you'll see the Linux kernel, some GPLv2 userspace, and a hardware-enforced lockdown that renders the GPL useless. There will be jailbreaks but only a minority of people will even be aware of them, let alone care enough to actually make use of then.
- duncan_bayne 13y agoWhich is why it's so important that the W3C doesn't endorse this technology. It's not, in itself, the fact that it's incompatible with GPL3 etc. It's that for the first time in the history of the Open Web, the Open Web will not be implementable by anyone with a general purpose computer. That is the problem here.
- hsivonen 13y agoYou seem to think that "the Open Web" doesn't mean the part of the Web that's freely implementable but the part of the Web that uses W3C-specified tech. What makes you think that? Wouldn't it be more logical to say something like, for the first time in the history of the W3C, the W3C publishes a non-Open Web spec? Or something like that.
