Hi!
I have a question regarding the super long-term kernel support: can other commercial or non-commercial projects make use of such kernel versions like "linux-4.19.y-cip", i.e., use the CIP git repositories to address security issues (CVEs) in the Linux kernel even after the upstream long-term versions are no longer supported, or is this considered a service for members only?
Kernel is GPLed. If you get any version of kernel from anywhere, you are basically welcome to use it any way you want. That's what GPL says. Check with your lawyers. (Plus, CIP project is trying to be friendly member of community....)
