Nope. ROM alone is not the problem The problem is that in this particular case, removing a ROM used to vet software makes you liable under DMCA and friends That's why something that could be tolerated in GPLv2 time before the new IP world order can not be tolerated anymore. DRM is not deadly because of the technical measures but the legal ones GPLv3 is not there to change the technical equation but the legal equation. Blame the change on IP law apprentice sorcerers, not the on FSF -- Nicolas Mailhot - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
