After a two week survey period, Phoronix has published the results from their inaugural Linux Laptop Survey. There were 30,171 responses and while there may be some additional follow-up articles in the days/weeks ahead, the initial review has been published. One goal of the survey was to gather feedback about the current state of GNU/Linux hardware compatibility. Overall the situation is better than it was even a few years ago, but there are still many problems here and there. The situation is summed up in two pages, complete with diagrams, over at Phoronix.

    >It's not programmers you have to convince but lawyers and judges.

    Yea, great comeback: other lawyers and a judge would ___surely___ be fooled by GRSecurity's codicil.

    GPLv2 says no additional terms (to agreement between GRSecurity and further distributees)
    GRSecurity creates codicil or side-bar agreement thus adding additional terms (to agreement between GRSecurity and further distributees).
    Programmers such as you snarkily say "hehehe you'd have to convince a lawyer or a Judge".

    Just stating the facts would be enough, without even an argument.

    But hey, programmer, you know far more about the law than lawyers and such right?
