Bluetooth SIG Attacks Linux Bluetooth List

Karma Sucks writes "As reported in the latest free edition of LWN the Bluetooth Qualification Administrator has demanded that the Linux BlueZ project take down the highly-useful Bluetooth hardware compatibility list for Linux with the intimation that 'As neither of these products have been qualified using Linux it is illegal to make them available for public use'. This was apparently done at the request of a registered member of the Bluetooth SIG. Anyone know who this member was?"

Gee... I wonder?

The Bluetooth SIG has established its global headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, USA.

Who hangs out near Belelvue, WA and would object to anything linux-related?

Of course

Anyone know who this member was?

CowboyNeal, of course. Any doubts?

I know the guy!
