This could possibly force the hand of the Linux kernel developers and make them adopt GPLv3. I could be wrong and I don't want to start a fight, but I think it is highly likely. Those proponents of the GPLv3 must surely look at Solaris as an attractive alternative to Linux...it has my attention now, not that I'll switch...but I could be tempted. :) |

It doesn't matter how often you say it, but the Linux kernel *cannot* be converted to GPL3. In all practical terms it's impossible to get authorisation of all the kernel developers (or their heirs, employers, etcetera). |

>It doesn't matter how often you say it, but the Linux kernel *cannot* be converted to GPL3. Good point. I might be seeing Solaris in my future, I haven't decided yet. There's no guarantee that the kernel staying on v2 is going to be a problem. Stallman doesn't seem to think so. We'll see. |

> V3 or not, IMO that's really warped... But hey, whatever rocks your world ;-)... Why is that? You don't like Solaris? |

So you're running a Solaris kernel... Does that mean that the Solaris file system is gonna be v3?... I'm Just not seeing the justification here. |
