[edit] Justification Please!

Can someone justify this:

"Some of the areas the center has been looking at include clarifying the GPL in relation to loadable kernel modules in Linux"

The loadable modules problem stems from copyright law being unclear, not from anything in the GPL. The GPL cannot be "clarified" on this issue - unless it's to exclude loadable modules from the requirements of the GPL, and I know Moglen/SFLC will not do that. I'll remove that sentence from the article when I come back next if there's no good justification. Gronky 21:28, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Done. Gronky 17:18, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] This is not the Jim Garrison you want, move along, move along...

The wikilink to Jim Garrison leads to the New Orleans attorney of whom Oliver Stone made his big film about. I seriously doubt that is who was intended here ;-). OTOH, I don't know what would the best way be to discern between the two, in terms of link-formulation. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 03:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
