It's not the same thing, by far. EULA = "end user license agreement"; while "data protection law" is... law. Obviously, licenses (contracts) must not be unlawful. PS: You may use a GPL'd program any way you want --- although not for unlawful purposes. But that's not a matter between you and the copyright holder, it's between you and the law. PPS: SCM metadata are not part of the program. The DCoO states that the personal data submitted along with the contribution may be redistributed "consistent... with the open source license(s) involved", but it isn't discussed whether other terms of the licenses, notably those on modification and derivatives, apply to the data supplied for the certificate of origin. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- -=== ====- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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/
