Aihe: Re: [DNG] grsecurity ripoff by Google, with Linus' approval WAS: I have a question about libsystemd0 in devuan ascii,
I've been getting credible reports that grsecurity.net is infringing the
kernel by preventing customers from redistributing the GPL code for their
patch.

What is it we want Google to do? They usually listen when I ask...

    Thanks
