Hi, Wendy Lin: > Given ORACLEs very aggressive stance and intentional destruction of > opensource communities like opensolaris.org it must be *CLEARLY* ruled > out that there is *ANY* risk for Debian. Wrong. You cannot rule out ANY risk, and the current legal landscape is not compatible with CLEARLY, no matter what you do. What are the facts, anyway? * Debian is hardly the first or only user of systemd, and Oracle didn't do anything about these patents for the last two years * Nobody has yet mentioned any specific patents which systemd may or may not be infringing, and a quick Google search doesn't unearth any either, thus so far the whole thing is a big bunch of FUD. > The situation sounds a bit as both Novell/Suse and Redhat/Fedora are > standing with the back to the wall and have no choice than to > negotiate with ORACLE. > Do you have any reputable sources for this, or is that just more FUD? -- -- Matthias Urlichs
