This defeats the point of making GRUB GPLv3, because other parties can easily avoid the additional restrictions by taking the GPLv2 version and appliing all these 2-or-later patches. I certainly don't want to contribute patches in this way, since I'm completely against things like DRM or patent deals, and I don't want my code to be used for these purposes. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is honeypot@aybabtu.com.
