This piece was brought to my attention by /. this morning. What it's a piece of, I'm not too sure. IMO Chapmann Tripp should be shot for using such inflammatory language, but I suppose that without any licenses to write, they'd be going out of business. Altruism isn't a word they understand in this context, I take it.
Some of the highlights: "Understanding the Infectious Effects of Open Source Licences" - so they're all bad for you then? "64 As its standard position, all Development Agreements should prohibit the use of any open source code in the supplied software." - so how are we going to develop ( eclipse ), compile ( gcc ), publish ( apache )... it then? It's put me off my morning coffee, that's for sure. http://www.e.govt.nz/policy/open-source/open-source-legal Steve. -- Let us have a moment of silence for all Americans who are now stuck in traffic on their way to a health club to ride a stationary bicycle. - Congressman Earl Blumenauer (Oregon)
