DOA - Dead or Alive (The Movie): Featuring: Partial linux source

[lathiat]

I was watching the movie "Dead or Alive" this afternoon, and I was curious to see the source code scrolling past was from the linux kernel

It would be so funny if the film was "infected" by the kernel GPL.

I suspect that they cut the copyright declaration because they didn't feel comfortable putting the name of any real person or organization in the movie. People can sue over things like that. ("Oh, my religion/organization/Random Acts of Violence Anonymous group doesn't allow viewing any depictions of violence, and you've put my name in a movie with lots of violence!")

As for the legality, this almost certainly falls under fair use.

Sue them!

Let's sue them and use the money to fuel further kernel development! :)
