If it was proven that it's not in P then we would have shown that P!=NP which would be HUGE . No, this is "merely" finding a more efficient algorithm for a problem which we still don't know exactly where belongs. From a

That I agree might be a problem. If the case ends up being decided in favor of Christoph Hellwig based on that then I wonder if what happens isn't just that companies gets a third party to distribute a modified kernel (as source code)

I didn't say it would infringe on anything just that it would be a derivative. Maybe that was a bad example though, but do we really want to disallow opensource project from extending proprietary software without the blessing of the co

I'm talking about that if a proprietary driver that links to the linux kernel is a derivative work then surely an open source driver linking to the Windows kernel is too.

So if VMware loses this what would prevent e.g. Microsoft from claiming that the kernel driver in Process Hacker is a derivative work of the Windows kernel? Or worse, anything that patches a Windows DLL is a derivative work of that dll?

Everything in kernel space is "the same process". Using something as a library exactly means that there is an API to use. If the proprietary part of the kernel module directly pokes around in private symbols in the kernel then I c

You could probably spin it out even with the magnet activated. The friction coefficient is probably too low for any realistic electromagnet to be strong enough to make it impossible to "slide" out. Just try with a magnet on your f

In the broadest sense a compiler is any program that translates between different representations af a program. In that sense one can also consider a decompiler as a compiler. Also we usually use the term compilation (or more specifically A

Transpilers are compilers... The term is usually used for a compiler which compiles between languages at about the same level of abstraction.

That's a very weird way to look at it. Static linking was there before everything else. gcc/ld and, well, any other C/C++ toolchain can do that as well. There is a reason this isn't usually done. It's like you are t
