Re: GNU/Linux Activation Technologies - You joke, but it's a reality now. GrSecurity is doing JUST THAT.
You joke, but GrSecurity is selling licenses for it's kernel patch for $10,000, and does per-seat licensing. It prevents redistribution of it's derivative work via an "access agreement" where-in the licensee promises not to redistribute the derivative work, or else suffer a forfeiture of his remaining balance, as well as suffer a penalty of recieving no furthur versions (which he allready paid for). So: yes: it is allready happening. It's not a joke anymore. Yet you here see this as "insane talk" and "yea they can do that, let's patch the /next version/ of the GPL to prevent it!" No: they /cannot/ do that. Section 6 forbids additional restrictive terms, they have added an addional restrictive term (licensee shall no redistribute except to customers if required), and are enforcing said restrictive term with a negative covenant. PLEASE Read: perens.com/2017/06/28/warning-grsecurity-potential-contributory-infringement-risk-for-customers/ And Page 10 on of this brief: perens.com/static/OSS_Spenger_v_Perens/0_2018cv15189/docs1/pdf/18.pdf (which does discuss the copyright matter, even though the case is on another) On 2019-11-09 20:27, Dmitry Alexandrov wrote: Alexandre François Garreau wrote: Le samedi 9 novembre 2019, 14:25:58 CET Richard Stallman a écrit : You should install GNU/Linux Activation Technologies Client if you are running GNU/Linux.

Okay, I perhaps chose the wrong wordings: the fact that it came to the listserver _straight_ from some Ukrainian server made it suspicious: | Received: from nvs406.mirohost.net ([89.184.73.65]:19710) | by eggs.gnu.org with esmtps (TLS1.0:DHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32) | (Exim 4.71) | (envelope-from ) | id 1iTQkg-0005C9-J9 Normally, the message should come from some machine related to the sender: like portable.galex-713.eu in your case or fencepost.gnu.org in RMSʼs. As for travelling, I am not sure, whether fencepost.gnu.org reveals in headers where mail were submitted from, or whether it accepts mail by SMTP at all, but RMS seems to submit his mail by SSH rather than by SMTP in any case: | Received: from rms by fencepost.gnu.org with local (Exim 4.82) (envelope-from ) id 1iSZeG-0003Oz-7M; Wed, 06 Nov 2019 23:43:56 -0500 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Knowing rms’ config: PHP mailer and Message-ID not coming from emacs (hence not postfixed with .fsf, etc.), as he uses emacs and won’t use the web for that, but could as well be located some place where his internet access exits at some place in Ukraine (he just have to have anyone hosting him behind mirohost.net): as he travels a lot, Ukraine wouldn’t be suspicious.

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider]]] [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden\'s example. ]]] I have some issues with new mail server so ignore encoding issues.
