Jeremy Allison is a computer programmer known for his contributions to the free software community, notably to Samba, a re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, released under the GNU General Public License. Other contributions include the early versions of the pwdump password cracking utility.〔(Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista password crackers - recovery, auditing, and PWDUMP tools )〕 == Free software evangelism == During his career, Jeremy Allison has consistently defended the free software approach: * He pitched making Vantive code free software to its founder. * He persuaded Michael Tiemann to use the GNU General Public License for Cygwin. * He similarly convinced Tim Wilkinson to put the Kaffe virtual machine for Java under the GPL. * He was involved in Silicon Graphics' decision to put XFS for Linux under the GPL. This commitment to free software culminated with his decision to leave Novell in protest of a patent deal that was considered by many as a FUD attack on Linux and other free software, and by Allison as breaking section 7 of the GNU General Public License. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeremy Allison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
