u use the stable or experimental?

Sound familiar? It says that you must provide reference to the original creator. That's all the npl said. So really, the npl was just reiterating the gpl.
As for us not giving credit, I honestly had no idea who wrote the menuconfig/cflags patches. Now that I know, I can cite them appropriately.
And next time your sources rip off our documentation, I will be certain to post directly into your threads informing you so as opposed to letting it slide and attempting to settle it without directly calling attention to your project. |
No dude, theres a huge difference. The GPL says that copyright information should be inside the source files. You say every user of the software must know it came from you.
| Quote: | 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement:
This product includes software developed by the University of
California, Berkeley and its contributors. |
Thats a line from the original BSD license, widely known as the "obnoxious advertising" clause. Its a bad idea, and heres why: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html
Now, "its still a free license!", you might say. However, its definatly different from the GPL, and the GPL does not allow you to make additional restrictions. So you were violating the GPL, dear. |

Chaosite: Thanks for clearing that up, hun.
From now on, I will no longer respond to any flame-oriented posts in this thread. I'm on jabber if you want to flame me.

You have created and publish NPL - so you aren't wiser to... And don't blame me for laughing of 'NPL idea'.
Moreover - I've never said, that nitro-devs aren't spending lot of time on patchset. Or maybe I did? Plz - be so _briliant_ and show me where! ... ya... ?
And - with respect to my nickname - atleast it isn't misspelled

Yeah, or learn howto read. 
You do relize that what you just did however is an act of hostility towards other maintainers. Don't expect anything good about your patchset coming from me anymore. And I really don't care if you draw attention to or from my patchset, I'm not out there to be the most popular. I'm out there to fill a niche and make things work, not to be an attention whore.
As for me, you do relize that you violated the 1st term of the GPL also by not including all the names for all the writers of patches. So don't try to point the finger at me, because I haven't.
Man you guys are corrupt, its no wonder predatorfreak left..... |

Allow me to summarize the situation, for any trolls or flamewarriors who are interested:
- Darckness and the devs put 100's of hours of work into their latest patchset
- They realize that some of their code has been stolen in the past, are annoyed, and want to stop this
- They draft a flawed license to ensure they get credit for the work they've done
- They realize the license is flawed, and graciously pretend like this whole ugly incident never happened
- They get flamed to death by dipwads who forgot to notice step 4
Any questions? |

Pifactorial, before i goto bed, allow me to say this, darckness and tiger deverse a BEATING for ever thinking of NPL in the first place. I won't be the one to give the beating because i stand nutural, i understand what other developers feel about NPL and how darckness and tiger feel about there work getting tooken and no credit being givin, although I might not have the input i had before because i quit nitro, I believe NPL should be noted as one of the most flawed ideas ever.

Thanks for the quick summary, pifactorial. But please don't use the term "stolen code", as it makes others seem like thieves when in actually the GPL specifically _guarantees_ them the rights to incorporate that code into their own patchset. Using the phrase "stolen code" makes it seem as if they had no right to do so which is blatantly false. Thanks.

Ehm... I sure feel dumb, but should I apply the patch against 2.6.10 or 2.6.11-rc5? I like to patch manually so that I can add my own stuff, but this time I'm baffled, as I get rejects with all versions I've tried to patch it against. Thanks

Predatorfreak: While I agree that the NPL they devised is a horrible method to do so, wanting credit for one's contributions is not inherently a bad thing. That's why the GPL tells you to add your own copyright information to any modifications you make and anyone else who uses that code cannot legally remove that copyright information. That is how you give credit where such credit is due.

You're right, that does sound very SCOesque - I was just trying to make a point. I think maybe there should be a stricter "code of honor" for kernel devs. So much of this fighting is childish and unnecessary.

Not yet. I have one last comment.

But there _is_ a code of honor. It's called the GNU General Public License. It says that you may legally and ethically use code from other software licensed under a GPL-compatible license within your own GPL'd software so long as the entire thing is GPL'd and you retain any and all contact/copyright information of the original author.

Getting back to the how this new nitro release works... Does Realtime makes a difference in speed and interactivity, or it is just called "realtime"?
I heard that it does not really improoves performance, from wikipedia:: | Quote: | | Note that this type of operating system does not necessarily have high throughput the specialized scheduling algorithm and a high clock-interrupt rate can both interfere with throughput. |
.
How is it working for the ones of you that are using it, or have compared with the non-realtime nitro?
I am going to compile this nitro tomorrow, no more time left today, and would like to get informed, thankx! |

elocal: I've used both the stable and rt versions of this kernel and I must say that it FEELS faster with the rt. Tasks are much more responsive, and everything just seems to work BETTER. If you're worried about whether or not it will work (there's a very small chance that it might break on you even though I haven't had that problem), you're probably better off going with the stable. Both are excellent kernels.

looks great!
thanks for the new patchset. One small thing though:
* FATAL: unable to locate:
* /usr/portage/distfiles/patch-2.6.11-rc5-nitro0-rt.bz2
* for read-only. The file either has incorrect permissions
* or does not exist.
The ebuild doesn't download the rt patch automaticly. No biggy though
*edit: Ok, bigger then I thought:

The log is too long to post, I'm afraid, but there are a lot of

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I'll try to patch them manually
PS. what does the "symlink" use flag do?

patching manually worked fine use -p1 not -p0
BUT framebuffer's broke, last normal line i saw in dmesg before it froze was vesafb: redraw or something like that
then i tried with out framebuffer and it crarashed right after reiser4 bitmap
so much for realtime

Well, I'm running solid on 2.6.11-rc5-nitro0 now. ATI's drivers work great, Teamspeak works great, Cedega works, ALSA works, vesafb-tng works perfectly... I'm very happy. Keep up the good work!
