Kororaa Accused of Violating GPL

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the penguin-is-confused dept.

AlanS2002 writes "The Kororaa Project, a pre-configured binary install method for Gentoo Linux which bundles nVidia's and ATI binary drivers in its Kororaa Xgl Live CD , has put its Live CD on hold after being accused of violating the GPL. The issue appears to be the distribution of the Linux Kernel and nVidia's/ATI binary drivers together. When the binary drivers are built the GPL'ed code is included in the binary result, which is a violation."

    I think that Linus should wave his magic wand, and add a little clause that says these guys are exempt.

    Yeah, I know, I know. Don't bother...
