    Which is why the city changed it jack ass. That's the point of the new ordinance, it eliminates the road block.

    Bullshit and you know it. AT&T wants to stop Google. Period. Unless you agree with the provision:

    Metro Councilman Bill Hollander, the ordinance’s sponsor, said earlier this month that the changes “will make the whole (installation) process faster and make the community more broadband ready.”

    Under current rules, each provider would have to send a contractor to move its equipment to make way for new services like Google Fiber, officials have said.

    “Depending on where you are in Jefferson County and which pole you’re talking about, there could be five or six different trucks dispatched in six months or more to get everybody moving their lines to make room for the last attacher,” Ted Smith, chief of civic innovation for Metro government, told the Metro Council’s public works committee in early February.

    Did you catch that Potsy: There could be five or six different trucks dispatched in six months or more to get everybody moving their lines to make room for the last attacher.

    So unless Kentucky really likes to be a road block to business, they could care less what Jefferson County does.

    So that's why this instance is bull shit. Software Freedom Conservancy can go fuck itself. CDDLv1 isn't not some license that's going to prevent someone from using Linux. The fact that any user can download and use ZFS proves the point. There's no reason not to include it.

    You douche bag. They're not distributing the changes. There aren't any fucking changes. All Canonical is doing is providing the ability for people to use the ZFS file system. They are not creating works off of ZFS and they are not making kernel changes for ZFS. Nothing is derivative. For fucks sake let it go morons. We users want to use the software. We don't fucking care to view the source code or recompile and jack off! Some do, that's fine but most do not and if you have a fucking problem take it up with Oracle. Canonical is giving the user the option of using ZFS. The user does not. No harm no follow.

    For fuck's sake the fucking point about the GPL is that software is not included in a fundamental way they prevents you from using it. You now like a proprietary codec for trans-coding video where you have to pay a fee or what not. Something that prevents you from using the software. Including ZFS does not prevent you from using Linux. You can use other file systems. Sure it *might* be risky to use ZFS *if* Oracle does *something* but that's your risk and should be pointed out to you up front. But won't stop you fro using Linux.

    Fucking idiots!
