Linux 2.6.27-rc7
,----[ Quote ]
| It's been a fairly quiet week, since last week was the kernel summit and
| the plumbers conference, and a lot of the core kernel developers showed
| up. Hopefully we've fixed a number of regressions too (partly _at_ the
| KS), and I also hope the KS made more of the core developers think about
| the regression list in general.

Free Linux driver development

| Open source drivers will become an imperative, rather than a choice, for

Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules
,----[ Quote ]
| We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source Linux
| kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have repeatedly
| found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and the greater
| Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness, stability, flexibility,
| and maintainability of the Linux development model and shut their users off
| from the expertise of the Linux community. Vendors that provide closed-source
| kernel modules force their customers to give up key Linux advantages or
| choose new vendors. Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost
| savings and shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors
| to adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source
| kernel code.
|
| We speak only for ourselves, and not for any company we might work for today,
| have in the past, or will in the future.
