A nicely written article about Linux and the GPL.
<http://www.wasabisystems.com/gpl/>
Interesting and disturbing statistics about OEM behaviour, why
the new US Sarbanes-Oxley legislation gives the FSF a bigger
club to wield against GPL violators, and a discussion - from
an actual legal department - of whether nor not kernel modules
can be closed source.
(The authors are embedded systems developers so possibly have
a bias, but I couldn't detect any.)
cheers,
Hugh
