No, the core argument of the GPLv3 objections is that you can NOT tell the hardware manufacturers how to build hardware. You only can tell software users what hardware (tivoized) it's forbidden for them. Wether or not the hardware manufacturers are going to care enought about your anti-tivo software to remove their tivo protections is a completely different question unrelated to the software license. Which is why the GPLv3 anti-tivoization measures are stupid and pointless.
Please, stop pretending you are hardware manufacturers. You are not. - 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/
