    "We believe the Linux community will be best served by consolidating most of the performance projects into one or two projects, and then move that functionality into the kernel."

    in the kernel? why oh why would we want profiling tools embedded in the kernel?

    I don't necessarily think that you ARE a troll, but you certainly aren't very bright. There is plenty of free software that isn't made by GNU. Furthermore, any software released under the GPL is released under identical terms to GNU software.


    In simple language - this is as free as gcc.
