Recently I have read that Google are selling enterprise hardware that is running a modified version of the Linuk kernel [1]. I decided to ask them whether the source is available. I did this via the question form they offered.http://code.google.com/mirror/gsa.htmlGerco, Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ There you will notice that use of Linux KERNEL does not mean that your must publish sources for your proprietary application, or to make it easy for somebody to make a distribution competeting with yours. People like Oracle have realized this a long ago, and are selling their commercial products also for Linux platform. Google has made available all parts of the system that they areobliged under GPL to make available.Perhaps person supplying the reply from Google didn't quite understand what the product is, and that it has lots of components where you can get sources for, although nothing exiting and special happens in them. A better reply from Google would have been: "The GSA is made of a branded PC hardware, Linux operating system (sources of components available) plus proprietary Google search engine suite." /Matti Aarnio - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
