Re: installing CentOS/RHEL without CD using PXE?

2008-03-30 Thread Alex Dover
Just for the record, Red Hat / CentOS always had network install mode
(FTP/HTTP/NFS). With demise of Red Hat Linux I think you can only install
Fedora or CentOS from network, but still...
Manual here speaks of preparing a local FTP/HTTP install server, but AFAIK
you can use CentOS ftp as well.

Re: MySQL License

2007-02-26 Thread Alex Dover



No they are not. You can choose GPL and use its terms *or*
proprietary license with its terms.

Q: What extra restriction does it impose over GPL ?
A: None -- the GPL allows commercial (but non-proprietary)
   use, distribution, modification under the same terms.


I never said anything about linking to MySQL libraries. I was talking about
distributing MySQL as part of a propriety distribution(for the sake of the
argument lets say I'm using the regular ODBC driver to connect to a standard
MySQL database).
MySQL site states that I CAN NOT choose to use MySQL under GPL in this
scenario. Again - NO linking, NO patching, just distributing

Re: MySQL License

2007-02-26 Thread Alex Dover

And here we come full circle to my original question :)



Then it's not the GPL. it's the text of the GPL with an exception that
violates one of the four basic freedoms, and thus kicks it out of the
definition of a free software product, am I right?

For instance, a qlient of mine is using for its product a mainly
MozillaPL-like license with one item (which does not interact with the
MySQL at all) under a completely proprietery license. Are you saying
it's illegal to include MySQL in such a product?

what if the product downloads and installs a Fedora-core RPM during its
own installation?





Re: PostgresQL database on raw partition (and something about Access conversion)

2007-02-25 Thread Alex Dover

There was a question about business perspective of MySQL vs. PostgreSQL...
As far as I can tell , MySQL is not free for commercial distribution. It's
only free if you use it yourself or as part of some Open Source
distribution.
Correct me if I'm wrong (am I reading MySQL license wrong?)

-Alex


Re: MySQL License

2007-02-25 Thread Alex Dover



 A dual license means you can choose which license you want to use the
 product under. If you choose GPL, it's GPL all the way, you can
 redistribute it with source in any way you want along with any product
 you want, propriatery or open. dynamicly linking with GPL libraries is
 also fine, only static linking isn't.


If you read the MySQL licensing carefully, you'll see that the dual
licensing of MySQL is not valid if you distribute it with commercial
applications, even if you don't touch the original code.Look at this page:
http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/index.html
Commercial distributions are not allowed to use the GPL licensing for MySQL
as far as I can tell.


Re: MySQL License

2007-02-25 Thread Alex Dover

This is exactly the point I was making - you can't just use GPL in MySQL
case - there're additional restrictions (use in proprietary product).
Which makes it unusable for most proprietary commercial use and that's a
reason to use PostgreSQL instead,which doesn't have such restrictions due to
its' BSD license.

-Alex


Re: MySQL License

2007-02-25 Thread Alex Dover



Why don't you read the *whole* sentence you pointed to:
  For OEMs, ISVs, and VARs who distribute MySQL with their products, and
   do not license and distribute their source code under the GPL, MySQL
   provides a flexible OEM Commercial License.

OK, I'll put it in bold so you can see it:
  ...AND DO NOT LICENSE AND DISTRIBUTE THEIR SOURCE CODE UNDER THE
GPL...

So this applies only to those who *do not* distribute according to GPL.

GPL and any free software and open source license *allows* for any
use (including commercial use). If in doubt read the free software
definition and the open source definition respectively.

Now for the 1000'th time: proprietary != commercial.



I'm not arguing about use of GPL or any other FOSS license. All I said was -
MySQL restricts who can use their product under GPL license (unlike most
other GPL software).

Hello,

This is a firefox question but I'd like to try it here (because this is the

I use Firefox 2.0 on Debian Etch (downloaded from Mozilla's site) and among
other extension have AdBlock and Adblock Filterset.G Updater installed.

Whenever I visit tapuz forums (sample url:
http://www.tapuz.co.il/tapuzforum/main/forumpage.asp?id=236)
it seems that AdBlock forgets a single filter that I add which is to block:
http://img2.tapuz.co.il/hp1_admin

And shows the banners when I go to these pages.

As far as I noticed, this happens ONLY with this url, of all the other URL's
I added manually.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

You have to perform login as Bank Poalim customer to manage your account.
