I never stated that you are wrong about why you feel v3 is better for you, I only stated that if you are worried about the "tivoization" issue, then you have a long time to be worried, as it only affects the kernel. Also, since the Linux kernel is not going to change licenses, this whole thing really isn't an issue at all. > Can you explain more. If the kernel can be tivoized by someone I'm sorry, but "tivoized" is not a verb. Please explain what you mean by this. > , who will use this kernel? How can this affect the software xyz that > have a v3 licence? I do not understand the question, can you reprase it? thanks, greg k-h -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
