Background on Anthrax Kernels and their GPL violation:
http://pastebin.com/X5Cciy03
Would anyone be interested in forming such a pool? I am willing to wait
years for this to be resolved through certain organizations, but I
believe we can do better.
Last I checked, I have 1 long-time poster of the gpl-violations list on
board. Would anyone else like to join? Ideally I'd like to get the LKML
(which I have CC'd among others) involved so that authors of critical
Linux components be a part of this. I'm not sure if my defconfig commits
to Android kernel branches count as contributions, so I'm not going to
consider myself a Linux contributor unless told otherwise.
This pool would be used in the following manner:
* Formally requesting source for binaries (means to request source is
actively hidden)
* Formally requesting removal of critical copyrighted code that Linux
cannot function without
* Informing interested parties with respect to refusals of the above
The CTO of Anthrax's hosting server is very interested in terminating
Chad Goodman's account. Bullet point #3 might come into effect here.
If this is a bad idea, breaks list etiquette, uses incorrect logic, or
does not follow the conventions of GPL enforcement, feel free to shoot
this idea down with utmost prejudice.
