    This. Google would not be fucking us with Play Integrity and other DRM craps if Linus made the kernel GPLv3 licensed. It would have been a dreamland to have hackable phones, TVs and a whole lot of IoT devices where the users would be controlling them instead of other way around.

      Nah, they just would have either used something else, or fucked us with some other way. The kernel license just allowed them to do it like this.
