Kernel Log: More than 10 million lines of Linux source files

Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Tue, 10/21/2008 - 19:38

After the release of Linux 2.6.27, kernel developers are currently busily integrating patches for the next kernel version into the main development branch of Linux.

This usually involves discarding some old code and adding new code thouhg on balance, there are usually more new lines than old ones, making the kernel grow continually.

Operating systems drive devices. Linux is driven by open-source imperatives. So, naturally, Linux's kernel developers have a problem with closed-source kernel modules.

Linux Journal: "Operating systems drive devices. Linux is driven by open-source imperatives. So, naturally, Linux's kernel developers have a problem with closed-source kernel modules.

And, just as naturally, they've hacked up a statement they hope will discourage the closed and encourage the open."

Who Writes Linux: Corporate America

Linux Today  Thu, 10/02/2008 - 05:37

Cyber Cynic: "I'm not sure why the silly notion that "Only .10068% of Linux kernel developers are paid" keeps circulating, but it does.

So, let me just say, once and for all, Linux is written, for the most part, by paid software engineers and programmers from major American corporations."


 

Solving open source vs. proprietary driver debate in Linux

Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Tue, 09/30/2008 - 10:20

A group of Linux kernel developers & project managers that develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers.

They work with the manufacturers of the specific device to develop & submit to the main kernel, & maintain the kernel drivers.

They can sign NDAs as as long as they are able to create a proper GPLv2 Linux kernel driver as an end result.
