Debate Erupts Over Linux as Possible Biggest GPL Violator
Original: 🐧 If You Want "Free as in Freedom", Then Follow the FSF Linux has possibly turned from high-profile GPL adopter to bigge
A claim circulating in free software circles argues that Linux may have gone from high-profile GPL adopter to the largest violator of its own licence, measured by lines of code. The Free Software Foundation is being pointed to as the true home of 'free as in freedom' principles, with commentators urging supporters to follow the FSF rather than the kernel project.
Why now: Accusations that the Linux kernel, the flagship GPL project, might itself breach the GPL strike at the core of free software advocacy.
