Comments on: Company That Pays Microsoft for Unknown Patents in Linux Joins the Linux Foundation http://techrights.org/2010/04/17/lg-joins-kernel-foundation/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.14 By: Agent_Smith http://techrights.org/2010/04/17/lg-joins-kernel-foundation/comment-page-1/#comment-89816 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 20:46:13 +0000 http://techrights.org/?p=30083#comment-89816 The deals with Microsoft are extortion. But, it’s not LG who pays, but the customers. Perhaps it’s not illegal, in the US, but, in any part of the world, it’s immoral.
I just hope LG follows the rules of GPL. Becoming a part of Linux foundation is one step, but we are yet to see what direction LG will take. LG is willing to be seen as friend of Linux. We will see about that.

I was trying to add the missing part which all of them overlook.

Don’t you think LG’s decision to join the Linux Foundation could be interpreted as a positive step for the company?
