Think of the reputational damage to the
>MAAALLLLEEEEE (whoite)
programmer who wrote the CD 32k packet driver.
Before he could say "I have some code in the linux kernel"
And when he wrote it: it WAS the understanding that
>1) it would always be in, maybe improved, but nothing was EVER "DEEPRECIATED" from Linux at that time
>2) "we" (Linus and everyone else) would sue anyone who violated the GPL, or prevented redistribution, OR:
>2b) Failed to SEND LINUS the changes back.
Yes: Linus is on record (video, text, and audio), on old Slashdot articles from 1999-2002 era saying he expects all changes to come back to him
>But that's not in the GPL!
And yet all the Linux hobbiest kernel programmers of that time understood it as a requirement: and wrote in attestation to that: thus that can be recognised as part of the deal by a court (GPL is not voluminous enough to trigger the "4 corners" "completely integrated document" rule: nor does Linux dev history support such)
NOW: that
>WHOITE MMAALALLLLLEEEEE
programmer will never be considered for a position because he now has the reputation of:
>his "crap code" being thrown out of linux for FUCKING THINGS UP
(20 years after the fact, but who cares: WOMEN and TRANSFAGGOTS are NOT at fault: the original WHAITE MAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE PEDO FUCK is the one AT FAULT not wrighting code that would see into the future.
>ALSO HIS CODE IS __OUT___ HAHAHHAHA
