FSF Statement on Violation of GPL by RTLinux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the interesting-stuff dept.

bkuhn writes "The FSF has issued an official statement on the GPL violation by RTLinux." nothign surprising here, basically they say that RTLinux is violating the GPL by not releasing the source to their Linux kernel mods, but since the FSF isn't the copyright holder, they can't do much about it. Now it's up to RTLinux to decide if they are gonna do the right thing or not.Update: 09/16 00:48 AM GMT by H : Please check out these comments for more information - it's not a source code violation, but a patent issue.

    Linus needs to do somthing about this!!! if it is done to the core code that Linux himself has developed then he needs to enlist the FSF to prosecute RTlinux, if it is the code of another kernel hacker then Linus needs to emplor him to do what I have said above.


    Until we find who is responsible for the WTC terrorism, why don't we just bomb RTLinux?

    The FSF must be slipping in their old age.

    Not one single time did they use the designation GNU/RTLinux.
