Re: why reliable linux hasn't gained more market share?
Which is not quite correct. As a hamradio (I am one), you are allowed to
develop your very owh rf-devices. Transceivers, measure equipment, whatever
you like.
Many things, we are using today in consumer devices are first developed by
radio amateurs (example shorthand "packet radio", which is data over hf).
When you have a radio amateur license, you can do lots of things in the air.
Sure, there are regulations, you are not allowed to transmit anywhere and your
transmit power is reduced to 750W, but this does not technical restrict you.
Hamradio is the freedom in the air, you have in coding in linux. Also here are
some rules (GPL, ethicness, kindness whatever), but those do not techniocal
restrict you in any way.
Best regards
