Linus on GPL3 In Forbes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rehashing-bad-blood dept.

musicon writes "In an interview via e-mail with Forbes, Torvalds discusses GPLv3, digital rights management and sharks with laser beams. From the article: 'I'm sure changes will be made [to GPLv3]. The fact that the FSF and I have some fundamentally different views of what the GPLv2 was all about makes me worry that we won't find a good agreement on the next version.'"

    So web services built on OSS that don't release the code are not REALLY in compliance? What's next. Do employees get the source code for their payroll system if it runs on Linux?

    Forbes is also one of the dingbats claiming that tSCOg has a good case. Do you need more evidence? (I don't, but Google is your friend..my memory says you'll find LOTS.)

    I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
