Doesn't mean I can legally DO anything with it, though.<br></div></blockquote><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hmm, be careful here. I'm not a lawyer - but I don't think you are supposed to possess it either - even if it is "old" or abandoned. That said, as I understand it, I believe the remediation is to surrend all copies to the owners of the IP [EMC in this case]. Many hackers take a view that if they owner of the IP goes away, the code should go to the public commons. But the truth is that DG IP is owned by EMC, just as HP owns the DEC IP assets.</div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div id=":1tw" class="a3s" style="overflow:hidden">

Apple are largely removing GPL'd stuff and going to differently-licensed stuff.</div></blockquote><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Indeed but that's user space code. Their kernel was never GPL'ed.
