你們有沒有批準在你網站上使用？你知不知道GNU是私人而不公開，只有我可以使用，因為全是專利及第三方，你們最後會被我訴訟，而且你不知道有法律效力？

> ** Incompatible changes
>
>   diff no longer treats a closed stdin as representing an absent file
>   in usage like 'diff --new-file - foo <&-'.  This feature was rarely
>   if ever used and was not portable to POSIX platforms that reopen
>   stdin on exec, such as SELinux if the process underwent an AT_SECURE
>   transition, or HP-UX even if not setuid.
>   [bug#33965 introduced in 2.8]
>
> ** Bug fixes
>
>   diff and related programs no longer get confused if stdin, stdout,
>   or stderr are closed.  Previously, they sometimes opened files into
>   file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 and then mistakenly did I/O with them
>   that was intended for stdin, stdout, or stderr.
>   [bug#33965 present since "the beginning"]
>
>   cmp, diff and sdiff no longer treat negative command-line
>   option-arguments as if they were large positive numbers.
