The old-school linux contributors did not do it for money, and their copyrights (obviously) are still good. Why would you give a shit if you were blacklisted from "the industry", you have a cause of action in your hands. Legal action can reap you dividends that you would never otherwise achieve through your entire life. A cause of action is worth 100 or 1000 of your earning years, often. > lol, you people are idiots.

And you can't "just reimplement" the removed code and functionality either: as that may be infringing on the previous work as-well :). More litigation follows to determine that. ------- Explanation in plain American: Video: https://openload.co/f/mT_AH3xmIUM/TruthAboutLinuxandGPLv2__.mp4 Audio: https://ufile.io/sdhpl
