Its not a matter of licensing.
Since the days of various Linux distros, coming up with diff schemes made it difficult for developers to target a Linux. Hence the need to give the source, go compile in your own system mentality. This puts off many non techie ppl.
Just imagine when a driver or application can be packaged irregardless of the linux distro and it doesnt need a technical person to install. Wont this makes it easier for entry into Linux? for end-user and developers?
That sounds nice, but it would be a lot more believable if we hadn't already been through several version of LSB specs without any such thing happening.
