[LUGOS] Netfilter in Patrick McHardy se izvensodno poravnata

[Matija Šuklje]

Tole je precej huge predvsem za firme v embedded branži – Linux copyright 
troll (McHardy) in (ostali) člani Netfilter ekipe so se izvensodno poravnali 

Kar pomeni, da so so-avtorji nekega FOSS projekta (i.e. Netfilter znotraj 
Linux jedra) uspeli enega od so-avtorjev brzdati, da ne tožari več povprek za 
dobiček. V prihodnje bo Netfilter Core Team skupaj odločal z glasovanjem, če 
in kako bo tožil kršitelje licence. Pri tem se zavezujejo, da bodo razumni.
