I just love how people hating on grsec for terminating their open patch distribution forget that anyone can pick things up where they left

How? GPL2 doesn't say they have to keep giving you future versions of their work. Just that you have rights with the thing you got
-
It says they can't impose restrictions on your exercise of rights granted by GPL. Retaliation violates that.
-
Cutting access to later (therefore non-existent) versions doesn’t restrict a recipient’s rights regarding the software they already acquired
-
Cutting access is irrelevant. ANY retaliation for exercise of rights under GPL puts you in violation. Could be retaliation unrelated to src.
-
Okay, then maybe I’ve missed something. Can you point me to the relevant part of the license text?
-
¶6 "You must not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of their rights granted herein."
-
Silent "*wink* *wink*" type restriction is still a restriction and courts will not look fondly upon it.
-
I see what you mean now. It’s a bit ambiguous in my mind. I personally understood it as a restriction on the distributed code itself.
