That's a different question entirely. I don't think Linux developers hate users. I'd imagine that most have an attitude similar to mine: If someone wants to run Linux they are welcome to do so. If they choose to run Microsoft software instead, that's their decision. Their actions don't bother me either way. I will help someone out when they require assistance but I refuse to help those who won't help themselves (i.e. move away from Mother Microsoft). Again, that's just me but I don't think I'm alone in my thinking here. > Then, even if you do make it, you'll have to establish why this isn't > ordinary fair use of an interface required to interoperate with the kernel. Because it's contrary to the license under which the Linux kernel is distributed. I don't think it can be made much clearer than that, frankly. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
