 |  Linux developer loses case against VMware Linux kernel developer Christoph Hellwig has lost his case against virtualisation company VMware. Hellwig claimed the outfit had violated version 2 of the GNU General Public Licence and says he will appeal against the verdict. “I’m disappointed that the court didn’t even consider the actual case of reusing the Linux code written by me, and I hope the Court of Appeal will investigate this central aspect of the lawsuit,” he said in a statement. The case claimed that VMware had been using Hellwig’s code from 2007 and not releasing source code as required. The Linux kernel, which is released under the GNU GPL version 2, stipulates that anyone who distributes it has to provide source code for the same. http://www.techeye.net/news/linux-de...against-vmware |
