While reading over some of the online coverage about Handspring at Internet World '99, one of the interviewers asked about upgrading Visors to newer OS versions. The Handspring rep told him that they're planning an upgrade straight to PalmOS 4.0, instead of 3.3 as Palm is doing. Don't recall any mention of how they're going to do it though...
Mandrakesoft is already moving away from simply using Redhat's code base. I know RedHat is between a rock and a hard place as far as protecting their business, now that they are one, but that doesn't give them the right to disregard the GPL. A BIG reason that they've done so well is that their dist HAS been redistributed by smaller vendors and individuals again and again.. so this IS biting the hand that feeds you, in a sense. I bought my first copy of Redhat as a boxed MacMillan distribution, and I knew by simply reading the box and manual that "The Complete Red Hat Linux" pkg wasn't the same as "The Official Red Hat Linux" pkg. Duh.
My only question is what recourse is there if the GPL is violated...?
