Viral permissiveness

[Bruce Perens]

There was a legal workshop at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit 
last year. The Linux Foundation attorneys and the kernel team 
representative confirmed that they could, if they wanted, to, re-license 
the Linux kernel. They said it would be a painful process and that 
they'd rather not do it.

Remember, we're talking about collective works, not sole works.

    Thanks
