OSRM Declares Linux Free of Copyright Violations

Posted by timothy on from the but-they-don't-get-to-end-the-whole-circus dept.

tmu writes "According to a recent press release, the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are free of any code that violate copyrights. OSRM, the new startup formed by Daniel Egger and including groklaw founder Pamela Jones, completed a 6-month review of all code in both kernels. They must be pretty confident of the results, because they're offering product liability insurance to both developers and users."

  1. PJ integrity down the crapper by djroute66 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The last few weeks Darl et. al have been bashing PJ as someone who's funded by IBM. We've all thought this was some paranoia generated by SCO to diminiscule PJ's efforts.

    But now she is going to run a business that is based on these efforts. In effect, isn't her integrity now affected by the "bottom line." Darl's paranoia machine now has a leg to stand on.

    Not that I care, but... You know.
