The "hot" issue is partially this part of the GPL: For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. where it seems to say that if you need a script to be able to usefully install a self compiled kernel, that script is part of "the sourcecode". Now this of course can't and doesn't mean that people would need to give up their private keys to the public; said "script" of course can also install a second key or disable the keychecking.=20 Or maybe I'm just totally interpreting this wrong. =20 --=-W9Q5gDp2smQ8jLad2a9q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+p6bxbpJDcQVaBT0RAnfqAJ9RQJYO8/qYFhFPJkbwc6zDG8fXywCgxJW6 lM9BrbrRZmUUsldxgDEgHdo= =u31V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-W9Q5gDp2smQ8jLad2a9q--
