I want to buy one. I want to buy a Yopy even more.
I'll confess - I'm a gadget freak. I love these little thingies that go beep and do something utterly useless.
Now, listen up IBM and Samsung (and others). I have money, how can I give it to you?
When will we actually see these devices in the shops? I suspect saying "Linux" is so cool these days that companies make these smoke-and-mirror prereleases only so some division manager can claim he made company stock raise a tenth of a point when the next Gartner analysis is out.
Should we perhaps have a compatibility matrix showing which products are legally compatible on which platforms? Or how about a "license manager" where you just click on the licenses you accept?
I can imagine it: "This application has performed an illegal action and will be dragged to court for punishment". Or how about: "License violation at 0xca85e2a - the application will be terminated".
Seriously though, this could cause problems getting Linux into the big-scale companies where everything has to conform to standards. Imagine getting a sale rejected because your product wasn't "GPL-license certified".
