Interview With The FreeBSD Core Team

Posted by timothy on from the free-as-in-bsd dept.

Gentu writes "OSNews features an ultra interesting and in-depth interview with three members of FreeBSD's Core team (Wes Peters, Greg Lehey and M. Warner Losh) and also a major FreeBSD developer (Scott Long). They discuss issues from the Java port to corporate backing, the Linux competition, the 5.x branch and how it stacks up against the other Unices, UFS2, the possible XFree86 fork, SCO and its Unix IP situation, even... re-unification of the BSDs."

    Hello, please help me with a homework question. (paraphrasing)

    A software company wants to modify a GPL software product, they would be required to make available the source code they used to make any binaries they creata and distribute, correct?

    The software company modifies their compiler to interpret the code differently, making binaries that do a different function, produced from the same source code, legal?

    I read your posting history. You haven't added anything valuable to a discussion in months.

    In summary: shut your hole. Also, the US sucks.
