Although I'm pretty sure they'd have a hard time making this case once they saw something like this: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/18/277 Their opinions may very well be more informed, but until a court decides on the matter, they're just as right or wrong as ours. It's not too hard to find a lawyer that will tell you what you want to hear. It's like going to doctors until you find one that says you're not going to die soon, and then become convinced this one is right and all the others were wrong in their diagnostic :-) -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
