You didn’t opt for Linux pro?? Starting at $49.99
Ubuntu pro says hi /s
I have a laptop with Ubuntu that won’t let me upgrade any of the actually important packages unless I pay for Ubuntu pro.
You know that Pro is actually free for something like 5 computers
Huh, good to know. I’m still going to install Debian next time I reinstall the os. Unless I can’t get it to work with my laptops weird chipset, then I guess it’s Arch.
Can i change the text
Not only TiVO, IIRC Tecno (the phone company) is in violation of the GPL-2.0 too by not providing device trees.
Speaking of violators, North Korea is in violation of GPL 2.0 since they didn’t provide me the source code of the kernel when I asked for them for it.
Did you get a kernel binary from them? If not, I don’t think they’re bound to you by GPL.
I love one of the clauses of gplv3 where if a user does not follow the gpl you may deny them their ability to use it forever.
Would be funny to strike Nintendo with that. Or any other company that likes suing people work.
Have Nintendo ever used GPL software?
Probably on Nintendo switch because of the hardware they use. But no idea at all. It was just an example.
Companies want to enforce their licences strictly but when free software community asks them they are like: “ups mistake, sorry, forgive us”.
Free software licences should be respected with the same degree as they so with privative ones.
They use WebKit that uses a rendering engine, JavaScript engine underLGPLv2.1 in the switch.
If it’s LGPL, it might be ok depending on how they use it
wait is this real ik am on a linux meme community
of course not!
Oh
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my penguin go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
Reporting back… It was a good movie actually. I always assumed it was going to be silly or over the top but it was pretty believable and cathartic to watch these terrible bad guys get their shit ruined.
So, you would recommend it to the average viewer?
In other words, it is an authorized copy.
Well now did Mister Torvalds come to my house and expressly say that I could use it?
I don’t think that’s convenient for him. Let’s email him for his consent.
What a confused image.
- TiVo complied with the GPLv2 and distributed source code for their modifications to Linux. What they did not do was distribute the cryptographic keys which would allow TiVo customers to run modified versions it on their TiVo devices. This is what motivated the so-called anti-tivoization clause in GPLv3 (the “Installation Information” part of Section 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.).
- Linux remains GPLv2, so, everyone today still has the right to do the same thing TiVo did (shipping it in a product with a locked bootloader).
- Distributing Linux (or any GPLv2 software) with a threat of violence against recipients who exercise some of the rights granted by the license, as is depicted in this post, would be a violation section 6 of GPLv2 (“You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein.”).
