[Link][Icon]Newsflash: The sky is blue, grass is green

water is wet, it gets dark at night.

Oh, and TiVo says that the GPL version 3 might adversely affect them.

This is the license that has clauses in it specifically to prevent "TiVoization". TiVo is worried that a license written to close the loopholes they use will, in fact, close the loopholes they use.

And this is considered news?

One can't blame TiVo - not for saying that the GPL v3 might cause them problems, anyway - the use or misues of GPL'd software, whichever you think it was, is a different argument. They only mentioned in in a report to their investors, as indeed they should. It was the various news sites across the web that have been splashing this fact about.

Next thing you know, they'll be reporting that proprietary OS sellers don't like the GPL because it might make it harder for them to extort money out of Linux users under vague threat of unspecified IP infringement...
