Subject: Would like to form a pool of Linux copyright holders for faster GPL enforcement against Anthrax Kernels
Date: Sat, 18 May 2013 03:24:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51972CAF.3060802@gmail.com> (raw)
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 this list on board. Would
anyone else like to join? Ideally I'd like to get the LKML (which I have
CC'd) 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
* 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, uses incorrect logic, or does not follow the
conventions of GPL enforcement, feel free to shoot this idea down with
utmost prejudice.
