Provisions against digital rights management (DRM) in a draft update to the General Public Licence (GPL) could undermine computer security, Linus Torvalds said this week in emails reflecting the Linux leaders pragmatic philosophy.
Torvalds said in a posting on Wednesday to the Linux kernel mailing list: "I think a lot of people may find that the GPLv3 anti-DRM measures arent all that wonderful after all. Digital signatures and cryptography arent just bad DRM. They very much are good security too." |
