Post #353,100 by folkert 1/12/12 9:08:53 PM Reply	Re: Now that they're infected with the GPL virus... That is ONLY IF they use GPL'd parts IN WITH the Drone controlling software. Much like the Busybox changes a few Router manufacturers were doing. In any case, how come Oracle doesn't have to release its proprietary OracleDB binary source code? Because they make sure they don't compile in anything that is GPL'd.

The GPL virus was MS's argument a while back and given USAA/F are now ditching Windows in favor of Linux for the drone controllers, I just extended that a bit. <sarcasm>After all, the drone is linked to the controller's kernel through the network stack. If it weren't, it'd fly off to Iran. So there.</sarcasm>
