  Paul Allen's concerns on LKML that if the GPL rights are not asserted, then
any future, or additional violations, by grsecurity could raise the defenses
of waiver or latches against future actions based upon a failure to assert GPL
rights here (while dubious, they become additional hurdles that must be
responded to and overcome, regardless of their merit). Thread:

  If you are a contributor, it makes sense to get in contact with others
similarly situated, and make sure you understand the competing issues, the
statute of limitations that apply, and the upside/downside to acting or
failing to act. No, I'm not looking for clients either, but will explore the
issue and contribute to the extent needed. I've followed the earlier
grsecurity threads on this list out of curiosity that something like this may
unfold.
