Does Copyright Matter? Or, is the End of Dual-Licensing Near?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux, by contrast, is such a maze of copyrights that there have been threads
| on whether relicensing would be even theoretically possible given the fact
| that some of the original copyright holders were deceased. Unlike MySQL â or,
| as Anderson points out, EveryBlock â the copyrights to the code that makes up
| Linux is held in commons, such that no single entity â not even the majority
| holder, Linus â can make exclusive use of it. SuSE, for example, canât
| introduce its own proprietary extensions to differentiate itself from Red
| Hat. Oracle canât introduce a compatibility layer that only works with its
| distribution of the kernel. And so on. The rights enjoyed by one are the
| rights enjoyed by all, because the copyright doesnât belong to any single
| party.
