SCALE 2008 recap, and a pre-paid SIM question for the list.

2008-02-11 Thread ian douglas

Hey all,

First piece of good news: Michael was *swamped* at SCALE 6x, answering 
questions from probably hundreds of people asking what an open source 
phone was all about. There's definitely a buzz in the industry about 
OpenMoko, and being at SCALE was a definite boost in the exposure of 
what this project is trying to do!
I wrote up a recap article on my blog if anyone's interested, and threw 
in a few badly-taken photos from a camera phone during one of the 
quieter moments. Relevant content about OpenMoko and getting my Neo 
working starts at the 3rd paragraph.

http://iandouglas.com/scale-2008-and-openmoko

Second piece of good news: my Neo works on both T-Mobile and ATT now. 
The problems I had with T-Mobile from back in December had nothing to do 
with the GSM modem firmware -- T-Mobile had told me they activated the 
pre-paid $100/1000minute pay-as-you-go SIM card fully, just 
plug-and-play. Turns out they didn't actually activate the *minutes* on 
the card. (My 3G card from ATT has a serial number on the wiki that 
matches a known working series of cards, but the T-Mobile card never worked)


After T-Mobile activated the minutes, my Neo still wouldn't register on 
the T-Mobile network, even after 4 hours during a recharge session and a 
25 mile drive through very metro areas of Los Angeles to get back to 
SCALE. Once I got back to SCALE, Michael tried the (supposedly now 
working) SIM card in his own T-Mobile phone, which received a call just 
fine from my ATT cell phone, and only THEN does my Neo connect to the 
T-Mobile network.


So Michael and I discussed posing this experiment to the list to see if 
anyone else has come across something similar to know if my SIM card was 
just special (in a bad way), or whether others are experiencing this. 
Keep in mind the following points:


1. I had a pre-paid pay-as-you-go SIM card from T-Mobile
2. Inserting it into the Neo didn't register on the network
3. We placed the SIM in a phone sold by T-Mobile and it received a phone 
call
4. We put the SIM back into the Neo and it immediately registered on 
T-Mobile's network (usually within a matter of seconds).


If anyone else out there can reproduce this activity, or NOT, when using 
pre-paid SIM cards, we'd sure like to hear from you about it. We're 
trying to figure out if there's still something in the GSM firmware that 
needs to be taken care of, or if my Neo needs to be looked at by the 
hardware team.


Cheers,
Ian

I've been using this for years.  It's a fantastic way to organize ideas.
 It also turns out to be a great tool for taking notes, once you get the
keybindings tweaked to suit your style.

 this might eventually run on the neo.

I devoutly hope so.

Re: Patents and OpenMoko

2008-02-11 Thread Steven Kurylo
 Would you explain?  because this is very commonly believed: if you
 don't defend the patent you will lose it.  Just depends how this
 phrase defend the patent is defined I guess...

It differs in jurisdictions, but what most people confuse it trademark
and patents.  You can lose a trademark if you don't defend it.
A starting point for research:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_dilution

Also you can lose your patent if you don't implement it, which is
complete different from dilution but easy to confuse.

 What kind of protection is offered by the patent commons?  How can a
 mere agreement among the parties involved (if there were any lawsuit
 about a breach thereof, it would be a civil suit) be stronger than the
 patent law itself, which specifies the rights of the patent owner to
 license the patent and collect royalties, or to sue for infringement?
 I trust that some lawyers have thought this through pretty thoroughly
 by now, but it hasn't been tested, right?

I have no idea if there is case law.  It would be governed by
applicable contract law and what was actually agreed to...

http://www.patentcommons.org/resources/about_commitments.php#type

By making a Commitment, a Contributor gives permission for others to
engage in activities it could otherwise prevent, or for which the
Contributor could collect damages or royalties. Courts have concluded
it is unfair and inequitable for Contributors to encourage others to
rely on their promise they will not enforce their patents and then sue
them for infringement for doing so

Sounds like there might be some case law there already.

 I suspect you are right about this, but there really are credibility
 problems with software patents in general... they clearly suck, and
 many developers are in denial, and waiting for them to be finally
 disallowed by the gov't.  But then again, that might never happen; and
 even if it did, would the existing software patents be thrown out, or
 grandfathered?  It is hard to predict the future, especially ahead of
 time.  Probably the large corporate special interests will get
 whatever they want, in the end.

I agree.  The situation is a mess.  Just like the GPL is copyleft,
hopefully the patent commons will become the same thing: patent
everything we can and grant everyone the right to use it.

commercial advantage like cross licensing) you have to sue him. If you

IANAL, but -- no.  You seem to be confusing patents with
trademarks -- you can lose a trademark by failing to actively defend
it; a patent can't be revoked on those grounds (now, if you let
somebody use your patent for a decade before you sue them, you could
end up getting far less damages than you would have otherwise.  But
that's a different issue than losing the patent).

And you have to collect royalties since the patent system only cares
about businesses, i.e. the sole purpose of patents is to make money from
it. Not using it to make money by either sublicensing or self-use of the
IP will constitue non active use of the patent and is also a reason for
revocation.

Again, no.  There is no requirement that you charge royalties.

So even if you have the intend of not sueing you might be forced to
either sue others and/or collect license fees.
The expressed intend not to make money from the patent could already be
a reason for not accepting it.

So imagine someone else using the OpenMoko software on another device
with some of your patented parts in it. You would be forced to sue this
person/company/whatever.
This is not what we you/we want.

It's also not the law.

 Starting to collect software patents would contradict your own claim of

Not at all.

 Speaking as community guy I would say that with the software patents you
 would have to sign and publish a non-revocable community contract that
 sais quite explicitely for which use you would accept royaltee free use
 and of which patents. Only then the community would be safe. Else, at
 some later point in time, someone at OpenMoko/FIC might change their
 mind and try to make money from the patents.

Definitely and thats what the patent commons are for.

 Oh, and it just occurred to me...
 AFAIK GPL V3 explicitely forbids software patents on GPLed code, does it?

No it doesn't.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#v3PatentRetaliation

If they patent software, and release that software under GPL3, they
can't sue users of that software for patent infringement.

 But please do not consider software patents at any time! You will
 instantly loose your credibility in the open source world.

Not at all.  If they don't patent it, someone else will; then you're
in real trouble.  Its a broken system, but its one they have to work
with.  Sure you can point to prior art if someone else patents it -
but challenging a patent costs money.  Usually more than the cost of
the patent in the first place.

As long as they pledge the patents to the community, which from the
original email is their goal, there is nothing wrong with getting
patents.

 I totally agree with Lionel here. It will be bad PR wise and it's very 
 difficult to
 enforce. Openmoko hardware and software are already covered by copyright, and 
 I think a
 patent doesn't add any protection. Even if parts will be covered by a patent, 
 chances
 are that some smart company can circumvent it by making small 
 changes/improvements.
 
 Besides, what's there to patent? If I understand correctly, anything that's 
 published
 (or available publicly) before the patent cannot be patented anymore, so that 
 would
 include all openmoko software up to today, the CAD design for the casing, 
 ideas on the
 wiki etc.

Oh, and it just occurred to me...
AFAIK GPL V3 explicitely forbids software patents on GPLed code, does it?

Will that mean that OpenMoko code will stick with a modified GPL V2 (V2
usually has the clause or any later version which would include V3 and
thus also the non-patent clause) or change license altogether?


Software patents are evil - there is no way to argue for it.
The only way to defend against patent issues is to have a nice and
provable prior art collection. A public SVN, public WiKi and public
web-pages are IMHO the best way for that. Web bots mirror the whole
stuff on hundreds of independant servers and it can easily be researched
by everyone.
More should not be needed.

The assurance you might feel by having a stack of patents is more like
self-deception. Do you really think you can compete with your patent
portfolio with a company like Nokia? Motorola? Samsung? NEC? Qualcom? No
way. So why trying?

Wouldn't it better to head a new development without patent fear?
To show to other companies that patents are not the only source of
whisdom, cash-flow and money making? I think the IP issue is largely
exagerated these days. Yes, there are IP infringements in countries like
China. But how do patents help there? They don't. They only handicap us,
the people from exactly the countries that made the original invention.

I had the impression that OpenMoko was already heading a revolutionary
new way of creating a product, i.e. working together with a community,
in the open and to work *together*.  A company that first time has
proven that making a mobile phone is no rocket science and not an area
covered with legal trapdoors - up to now it worked!
If you want to patent anything, well, do it with the hardware. The
hardware patenting process is well defined and a patent in some hardware
areas of the NEO phones will not hurt anybody.

But please do not consider software patents at any time! You will
instantly loose your credibility in the open source world.

Or to make it more concrete: If OpenMoko should file *any* software
patents I would have to stop to work with OpenMoko, as sorry as I would be.

My very quick advice: Don't get your hands dirty with patents,
especially with software.
You will loose a lot of credibility in the free software world and the
benefit is questionable.


With all due respect, I must disagree here. Not filing for patents, is 
hardly an option for a global company in this day and age. The larger we

 Dear Community,
Hello Sean,
and others...

 Most of you know that OpenMoko is a fully independent company at this
 point. With this great opportunity comes many challenges. Today I would
 like to share one with you all and ask for some advice.
 
 We need to file patents for our hardware as well as software designs.
 While my personal views on software patents are inline with people like
 Eben Moglen, as a company, we are forced to play by the rules of the game.

Who did cast those rules in stone?

The degree of how far you want to bend is defines by your own.
The felt pressure is just felt and does not need to be real.
There are hundreds of companies, big and small, who by now have stated
that they will not apply for software patents. This tells me that those
rules are not so hard.

 What I want is for a our company's patents to be freely available, for
 anyone, but for defensive purposes only.

Isn't this already a problem?
From what I know especially in the US patent system you are *forced* to
actively defend your patent, i.e. if you get to know that someone uses
your patent and is not paying you roayalties (or you get an alternative
commercial advantage like cross licensing) you have to sue him. If you
do not do so the patent can be revoked.

And you have to collect royalties since the patent system only cares
about businesses, i.e. the sole purpose of patents is to make money from
it. Not using it to make money by either sublicensing or self-use of the
IP will constitue non active use of the patent and is also a reason for
revocation.

So even if you have the intend of not sueing you might be forced to
either sue others and/or collect license fees.
The expressed intend not to make money from the patent could already be
a reason for not accepting it.

So imagine someone else using the OpenMoko software on another device
with some of your patented parts in it. You would be forced to sue this
person/company/whatever.
This is not what we you/we want.

But as always: IANAL.


Another problem is that software patents are still not possible at all
in the European Community, which is IMHO very good.

And apart from that software patents are a bad idea in itself. Software
is way too flexible to be described accurate enough to write a patent.
So what happens is that all software patent claims are way too broad -
they cover not only a specific invention but one patent already covers a
vast area of inventions and thus preventing further invention by others
in the whole area.

Sorry, but software patents *must* be avoided by any means!

There are for sure cases where a software patent might be well defined
and could be argued for. But as long as the legislation allows such
broad and undefined claims I am completely against it. And frankly I do
not see a way to make the patent rules specific enough for that.

For more information against software patents please have a thorough look at
http://www.ffii.org/
and
http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/

Starting to collect software patents would contradict your own claim of
openness and support of free software.

 Are there any existing options available to us now? Does anyone know of
 existing companies or organizations with a similar strategy that we can
 seek guidance or partnership.
 
 Again, I want to emphasize that we only want our patents to be used in
 defense. And what constitutes defense is something that we want to be
 able to define (and potentially even redefine when new threats arise).

This is a noble aim but very very difficult to reach.

Speaking as a free software acitvist especially software patents are a
complete no-go.
Speaking as community guy I would say that with the software patents you
would have to sign and publish a non-revocable community contract that
sais quite explicitely for which use you would accept royaltee free use
and of which patents. Only then the community would be safe. Else, at
some later point in time, someone at OpenMoko/FIC might change their
mind and try to make money from the patents.

 Thanks in advance for the help.

My very quick advice: Don't get your hands dirty with patents,
especially with software.
You will loose a lot of credibility in the free software world and the
benefit is questionable.

 Nice page Tim :-)
 Did you put a link to it on the main FreeRunner Wiki Page?

 Bren


Thanks Bren! Appreciate the feedback :-)

I did place a link on the wiki. I figured it was most appropriate here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Buying_Interest_List under the subheading
Fun.
Any thoughts, as always, are most welcome.

I think mind mapping might be what you're looking for, check out here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map

for software the gold standard is mindmanager www.mindjet.com  but
that seems to be windows/mac only.  I used this for what you're
describing and some note taking on a tablet when I was in school.

I saw another that is java based, haven't used it but
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page this might
eventually run on the neo.

anyways check these out, see if they do what you want


  
I just noticed a Debian Package a Day post that covers Vym - an easy 
mind mapping and drafting tool. It may not be appropriate for the Neo, 
though.

That could be interesting alright. :-)

 The site is up. It's mostly untested. See it here:
 http://openmoko.hobby-site.com/

 It has the features that were mentioned in the original opening email of
 this thread. It's not possible to edit entries at the moment, but I can add
 this if it's needed. I figured it doesn't need any authentication. Do you
 think a captcha is necessary? Feedback is of course appreciated. I can't
 make any promises about finding time to make improvements to it though, as
 I'm fairly busy with college. If I find/have time I'll gladly do it :-)
