Re: scsi target, likely GPL violation

Hi all,

First, I do not, and did not, have access to the proprietary OS, which
has been referred to. Otherwise, I would have checked it.

Second, I appreciate that my questions and tentative inferences may not
have been perfect, given that I did not have the complete facts, but I
did try to obtain them from RTS before raising questions in this forum.
But I was not successful.

Third, in retrospect, I think a more measured approach to the dialog
may have been a better course. I am interested in understanding the
situation. My primary goal was to avoid duplicating a lot of work, if
RTS plans to open-source the new features they have added to the
proprietary version.

Fourth, my questions about the GPL’s requirements in this context remain.

Finally, I was, in this thread, speaking on my behalf alone and
at my initiative-- not Red Hat’s, as some may have incorrectly
concluded. I'll be using a personal email account (CC'd) for this issue
in the future, in order to make this more explicit.

Regards -- Andy
