Linkers
I am not going to regurgitate to the list the extensive prior
communication on this subject. It's all in the archives and my email to
Adam Todd and the link list of 19 May 2000 is probably a good place to
start the link archive search surrounding this still unsubstantiated
claim.
All I would add is that neither I personally, Red Hat as an organisation
(as far as I can trace) or the Linux community (again as far as I can
trace) have still not been given any sort of information by Adam Todd as
to the nature of this supposed compromise to the Linux kernel.
Adam - you make statements about 'working together' and yet you have
repeatedly refused to do just this, despite many invitations made
publicly (see the archives) and privately and which I now repeat here:
Send me the details of this supposed compromise and it will be
investigated immediately.
I believe that somewhere in the New Testament is the line:
"By their actions shall ye know them."
upon which you might like to ponder if you fail to provide the
information you claim to have.
