RE: Why is no one discussing this anymore?

zeur here.

Yeah, comfortably away from an affected project, for sure! Remember what
happened w/ ipf(4)? Now imagine peope getting angry at theo (not an
uncommon thing, given his behaviour), and retaliating by revoking their
license to crucial portions of kern_proc, or their port's locore?

What if the drm(4) developers would suddenly throw a hissy fit and
decree that it may only be used in lunix, or that it be placed under a
restrictive license? The copyright on some code is helt by corporations
(for-profit or otherwise) -- what if *THEY* decide to change their
policy?

These are real issues.
