News Comment This is a comment on news story: Torvalds should create a better GPL It's a reply to comment: :( by: bim_bim  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization i hope these developers at least grow and learn to communicate rather than being sarcastic. I doubt if those against GPLv3 can produce a better GPL or doubt if they have tried to understand the basic tenets of Free Software from whence GPL is also based upon. Whenever there are unclear things on GPLv2.0 or GPLv1.0 the last recourse are the 4 basic tenets of Free Software. If hardware is to limit what I can do on the software isn't that also unethical and limiting the GPL as a license ensuring one's freedom to study, modify, use, and distribute? I am amazed why Torvalds do not see the other side of the coin. What Tivo can do is have a hardware switch that will toggle to operate on Strict Mode (with signed security) and Free mode (disabled signed security). End of Story.
