It has to be an entity that can resist that pressure; if OSDL can, great. But their funding is partially from sources that will try to put that pressure on I suspect... So I would almost rather have a separate "kicked off and supported by OSDL" organisation with its own charter than have OSDL do it itself. I can imagine OSDL feeling the same as well ... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
