I normally don't submit content from LWN until it's a week old and available by default to non-subscribers. However, if they've written the best article on a topic that's gaining traction on HN I'll consider it. In this case I'd noticed two stories about GPL license revocation and Android make the front page recently, but they each seemed to focus on only a portion of the topic and to put their own spin on the topic.

To quote from LWN's FAQ: "Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link? Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and blog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared."

So if you like this article, subscribe to LWN. I did!
