RedHat does not release what patches they include in their kernels
Stupid question here: aren't kernel patches considered derivative works? If so, then isn't RedHat legally obligated to released them under GPL?
- logic 12y agoThey provide the complete source, as required by the GPL. However, they do not provide patch sets neatly broken out like they used to; that's what the parent is referring to.
- lmz 12y agoThe patched source is there for others to rebuild (e.g. CentOS and other RHEL derivatives), just not separated out into nice patches.
