Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      The spirit of the GPL is about user freedom, not publishing code or contributing back. They aren't what the FSF cares about or tried to do.

      And all of those freedoms are intact. Future business relationship with the company producing the software is not one of the those freedoms.

      Forget about future vers; it's a distraction. If they said "if you exercise your rights under GPL, we'll kill a kitten" it'd infringe too.

      They aren't saying that, it's an assumption we're making: if a company published it, they likely wouldn't continue to do business with them.

      As soon as that happens, or as soon as they in any way suggest that that might happen, there's grounds for litigation.

      By Linux kernel developers, not the customer. There are no grounds for one of their customers to sue since it's not their software license.

      Linux kernel industry standards and cultural norms are not the place to look if you're expecting such strong GPL enforcement...

      grsecurity is distributed as a patch, not a binary. Customers are not receiving a binary. Doesn't fit into how GPL tries to protect users.

      They are distributing a derivative of the Linux kernel, as GPL2-licensed sources to customers. They (mostly?) aren't distributing binaries.

      And if the patch does not contain GPL'ed code from third parties, they are free to relicense it and put it under any license they want.

      A nontrivial patch to complex code is necessarily a derived work. There's no such thing as "does not contain GPL'd code" here.

          So what happens if I created a Linux kernel patch released under a BSD license (not including a single byte of the GPL'ed kernel source)?

          All the cases I found talk about patching GPL'ed code and distributing the result.. or the patch together with the result.

          Also what is "non-trivial".

          Do this many people really not understand that legal matters like this require interpretation by a court??

          I'm not interpreting. I'm asking because I think these cases are not as clear as might appear.
