@lumi Cortana from Halo 4 voice: I can tell you so many reasons why #GPLv3 would be a horribe decision and inevitably enshure that said Kernel can't retain compatibility longterm nor share code...

  • @landley went through all of this and came to the conclusion that #Copyleft doesn't work!

Plus doing so would basically create only unnecessary and redundant labour whilst not providing any real, practical benefit to the end-users...

Espechally since #Linux is galaxies ahead in terms of #documentatation, #developers, #support and #support

Espechally since I've yet to see #OpenBMC-powered #Servers or #Workstations [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBMC ] on the market since manfacturers are too busy pushing their own #BMC-based #managment solutions and sell #DLC's aka. #Licenses to nickel and dime customers for already implemented and installed features like a proper #iKVM [at least #Dell does so with their #iDRAC9] ....

And I think that a #minimalist #embedded / #desktop & #server #Linux has a lot of merits.

Because it can be flexible and useful even if a System does have plenty of resources to handle something bulkier than OS/1337.

And lets face it: Having some self-booting #minimal Linux that starts a #SSH server and allows to act as #RescueSystem or do basic #Setup if not #Backup & #Restore would come in handy regardless if one has a #BMC with #LOM & #iKVM or not.
