Re: Why does no one care that Brad Spengler of GRSecurity is blatantly violating the intention of the rightsholders to the Linux Kernel?

Hmm, am I feeding the spammer?  Some comments to the OP interspersed below--or 
maybe I'll just top post...

I don't know too much about the issue, and your second paragraph doesn't help 
much.

Let me ask, does Linus care--has he or some other noteworthy in the Linux / 
foss world made some sort of comment?

And have they started any sort of proceeding (negotiation, legal proceeding, 
???)?

I care about FOSS (or foss) and think that "users" in any sense of the word 
should comply with the appropriate licenses, and, if they don't some sort of 
action should be undertaken to enforce compliance.

So, why don't you cite a few (or one) cogent explanation of the problem and 
the position by a "noteworthy" (for lack of a better term).

PS: aconcernedfossdev doesn't "command" much respect in my mind, especially 
with no better explanation of the problem than what I read here.
