I wrote an email on LKML and netdev today to David Miller, the network subsystem maintainer. It's not ready for a [PATCH] set now, but it is ready to get initial feedback from them, so that I can start to get things ready for upstreaming. So: that's on the roadmap and a primary objective!
If your work is in the public domain, then at least the corporations would have much harder time hijacking and wall-garden it, and the chances of them simply giving up are higher. Or so I hope.
I've read a good chunk of your website. GREAT WORK! Do not give up, you're doing next-level work. =)
If I learned anything from those last 15 years is that they'll sue you if you don't agree the Moon is made of cheese if it suits their agenda.
So I remain cynical towards them. If they can hijack a good technology for their own profit, they will do it. I think we all knew that much at this point?
I do hope I am very naively wrong. But history hasn't given us much comfort in this area so far.
