New kernel driver and network support versions pushed by the father of Linux have been adjusted

On October 14, October 11, the father of Linux and the Finnish linness towoz released the latest kernel of the Linux open-source operating system.

According to foreign media reports, on Tuesday, towoz posted in the Linux Kernel mailing list that the release of the new kernel was slightly delayed due to small patches, but "it is not a big reason ". Linux2.6.23 includes many technical improvements, such as supporting Sun Microsystem's 64-bit iSCSI chip and Analog Devices embedded Blackfin Processor, which developers have always expected. "In addition to the above major improvements, the new version of the kernel also has a large number of minor adjustments, including driver and network support ."

Towoz's comment is only on the technical level. He did not comment on a series of political and legal disputes recently caused by the open-source software Linux.

Last week, Microsoft CEO Ballmer said in the UK that he asked Linux users to provide Microsoft with compensation, and the above users refer to users who have never obtained software from Linux software publishers that have reached a patent agreement with Microsoft. Microsoft claims that Linux and a series of other open-source software infringe on Microsoft's intellectual property rights.

While releasing the new version of the Linux kernel, towoz did not disclose whether he was releasing the kernel based on a controversial new licensing rule, the new licensing rules impose many strict restrictions on the commercial application of open-source software. Towoz has said in the past that he does not want to place Linux software under the GPL third-edition rule. The third version of GPL imposes various restrictions on open-source software applications. For example, commercial software developers are prohibited from making restrictions on the freedom of end users to modify software.
