@mulander @lattera Works as designed? Perens reminds the Grsecurity guys that they can not forbid redistribution of their (GPL-derivative) work. That's one of the core points in the GPL?

@lattera I think it depends on the scenario. Imo GPL is really good for some projects (to prevent embrace, extend, extinguish), for others it can be quite annoying.
