> Which I believe is OK with everyone What's the FSF's position on this, I wonder. The whole premise of the GPL as opposed to the LGPL is that even dynamic linking creates a derived work. If someone creates a completely drop-in

Congratulations on being a person of the sort I mentioned, who managed to get a few of them. If I build one into a product can I buy 100 of them? 1000 of them? Can I source the SoC to make my own board based on the design?

If I prototype something with an Arduino, I can easily switch to directly sourcing ATmegas and spin my own boards. The Pi Zero is the next thing over from vaporware. I know some people who have a few, but all of the official vendors linked

If there were an existent contract providing for a cliff, this would have been the place for him to say so. He didn't; he referred to the "standard 1-year cliff". The remaining question is, absent the signed stock agreement,

A more charitable reading is that dsp1234 thinks it's self-evident that only someone naive about the value to dmsguild would accept such a deal, that they should instead hold out for more, and that dmsguild is banking on that naivety,

That's a good assurance that would probably estop a Linux copyright holder from later claiming that a binary using only the system call interface is an infringing derivative work. It doesn't have the power to define a binary modul
