Yes, I must identify myself in order for my changes to be accepted into Linus's tree (and meet various coding standards and such), but my freedom is not restricted because I'm still allowed to anonymously modify and redistribute as long as I comply with the GPL. Under this license I am not, or so it seems. Or, to put it another way, a license would definitely not be considered free if it restricted modifications to those upholding a certain coding standard, yet the Linux kernel requires adherence to standards for acceptance into the main tree and is not any less free because ot it. - J< _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
