Linux under the GPL version 3 : when?
@wxcafe @luluberlu The first point is a really good one.
As for the second point, see #CancelLinus2K18.
@wxcafe Oh of course. You can be an asshole and be right. Actually, Linus Torvald is right on a lot of things.
But I'm not sure to understand why he is right this time.
@Sylvhem @luluberlu plus de restrictions sur les entreprises avec une nouvelle version de linux voudrait principalement dire que les grosses boites qui l'utilisent (google, par exemple) feraient un hard fork. Ce qui ferait perdre a linux les efforts de développement de ces boites, qui composent une grosse partie de l'effort de dev de linux.
@luluberlu @Sylvhem en retour, tu gagne : rien.
donc y a plus a perdre qu'a gagner, donc ça va pas se faire.
@wxcafe Merci pour l’explication ! Ça m’éclaire pas mal.
Can't some contributors make their contributions specifically GPLv3, making tivoization effectively impossible without redoing their part ?
(or is it practically impossible, or impossible because GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible ?)
@Nocta @Sylvhem @luluberlu I think it's impossible because then other contributors using GPLv2 wouldn't be able to touch these parts and it'd become a nightmare to debug.
also tivoization isn't the kernel's problem.
When I think about it it's what it means for them to be incompatible, forget my question x)
@Sylvhem @luluberlu whatever, he still holds the copyright on a good chunk of the kernel (and he's right on this particular issue, being an asshole doesn't mean he's wrong)
