SubjectRe: Why does no one care that Brad Spengler of GRSecurity is blatantly violating the intention of the rightsholders to the Linux Kernel?
 From a legal standpoint the pulling of the public patches is 
significant.

Before then there was a cause of action due to the imposition of an
additional term, but
since the rights-holders could still access the derivative work it may
have been a moot point to them.

Now that additional no-redistribution term imposition DOES affect the
rights-holders.

Big development.
