UnitedLinux might not be very GPL-friendly

Linux 3330 Published 2002-09-19 21:01 by Philipp Esselbach 0

NewsForge has posted an article on UnitedLinux

" UnitedLinux held a telephone party today to announce new general manager Paula Hunter and talk about its open beta release. Lots of curious journalists showed up. The question-askers all had a cynical air about them, and yet UnitedLinux bigwigs didn't seem surprised by the grilling. The underlying question still: what will UnitedLinux mean in the big picture that is Linux business? Our question: what about the GPL? (Also inside, an open letter to the UnitedLinux group from the FSF.)"
