How Far Should GPL Enforcement Go?

itwbennett writes "The debate over enforcement of the GPL flared up again this week when Red Hat kernel developer Matthew Garrett wrote in a blog post that Sony is looking to rewrite BusyBox to sidestep the GPL. Which is a perfectly legal undertaking. But it raises the question: 'Is there social pressure within the Linux kernel community to not undertake GPL compliance action?' writes blogger Brian Proffitt. 'This may not be nefarious: maybe people just would rather not bother with enforcing compliance. Better, they may argue, to just let the violation go and get on with developing better code.'"

Passover lamb

[HomelessInLaJolla]

Why is the passover lamb roasted whole with all internal organs inside? To sear the prints of the ribs to the inside of the leather. Why do you eat as if in flight? To hide the evidence because you sold the Egyptian a fake lambskin coat. Why don't you kill Isaac? Because he's supposed to scream and press those ribs in while being roasted. What's the difference between the major prophets and the minor prophets? The minor prophets only had some of the markings and didn't have the coat. The major prophets carried the coat. How much is the coat worth? You tell me.

I have your passover coat right here, buddy. I made fast. It's mine. Along with all the rest.
