In general, I have to agree that the person got himself in a lot of trouble for completely no reason, but probably out of frustration, of all things. Having the GPL kernel output things like "Closed Source" and "you have no rights under GPL" is just raising a red flag that the person has tainted the kernel, and did that intentionally and knowingly. It's not helping, but rather the opposite.

Also, doing a public release and declaring "Not for public distribution or use" doesn't make any sense. It's like someone graffiting "Do not put graffiti on this wall".

for example if the registration process is more or less automatically granting access for everyone than it IS considered public.

Note: This blog post outlines upcoming changes to Google Currents for Workspace users. For information on the previous deprecation of Googl...
Here's Eric D (Chad's friend) talking about their new distribution method and how they posted new sources (tarballs?) only to quickly and spitefully remove them.
Such maniacal directions and trust exercises just to become a member.Last edited by LLStarks; 02 January 2014, 02:02 PM.
