翠星石 (suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Apr-2024 11:12:48 JST翠星石 @wall0159 >me: the Linux kernel is GPL open source
I pointed out that the GPL family isn't just one license, are NOT an "open source" licenses; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html and how the Linux developers only claim that only part of Linux is under the GPLv2 and other parts are under other licenses - which is relevant as that was me refuting the claims you made.
It's a shame that people can't handle the irony that Linux, the poster child of "open source", isn't even completely source-available, one example being; https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/platforms/8xx/micropatch.c
Those are 6502 microprocessor instructions without source code, disguised as an array of numbers and looking back at the git log, "// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0" was inserted by a script and is NOT the license.
Please either prove how such is the source code, that being, the preferred form for understanding and modification or admit that you were wrong.
