• # Anti-canonical primaire

    Posté par . En réponse au journal FSF & SecureBoot. Évalué à 4.

    Sans surprise, la FSF tacle sévèrement Canonical.

    Ça dit surtout que chez Canonical il y a une crainte infondée comme quoi le support de Secure Boot n'est pas compatible avec la GPLv3.

    Our main concern with the Ubuntu plan is that because they are afraid of falling out of compliance with GPLv3, they plan to drop GRUB 2 on Secure Boot systems, in favor of another bootloader with a different license that lacks GPLv3's protections for user freedom. Their stated concern is that someone might ship an Ubuntu Certified machine with Restricted Boot (where the user cannot disable it). In order to comply with GPLv3, Ubuntu thinks it would then have to divulge its private key so that users could sign and install modified software on the restricted system.

    This fear is unfounded and based on a misunderstanding of GPLv3.
