I find it a little odd that a group which supports open source, when dealing with a movie/documentary that discusses open source, would have propritary type licensing applied to it, limiting the usage of the video. I understand the video itself is not open source, but it is ironic that you must own a valid license for a video on the origins of open source.

I have an email into J.T.S. Moore requesting this information as soon as it becomes available. As I have mentioned in previous emails, he will allow LUG's to show the movie for their respective groups as long as it is a 'purchased' copy. That is why we haven't had a 'movie night' yet with all the copies floating around thanks to HP. Also, to reiterate what Mr. Moore said about our request to show Revolution OS at Convergence 2003: we may only show the trailer for the movie at our booth. Any broadcast of the movie in part or in its entirety will be in direct contravention of the usage of this video. Bottom line is that it is a priority for CLUG to acquire one copy of this DVD for the group. We will show it at a future meeting. We will also have the DVD available for members to borrow. We haven't worked out the finer details but that is it in a nutshell. Jarrod (sorry no GPG, no laptop today)
