Re: [Zope] 'websafe' colours
[Curtis Maloney] | As I understand it, it's due to system palettes. On low colour | machines (256 or even 16colour) some colours are reserved for the | system GUI so that you can match the 'theme', leaving you with fewer | than the full capacity of the display you are using. Actually the problem with many colours is that there is slight difference between how they are shown in for example BGCOLOR and in a gif. There was an article about this in the online version of Wired. -Magnus ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Dynamically render DTML?
As a follow-up, is it possible to evaluate DTML that is returned from an SQL Query? -Magnus ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Zope and the GPL poison pill
[Danny William Adair] | Now Nils and Oleg are giving me the creeps. There are several issues here. First, it is not obvious that including one GPL'ed product in a zope site and then distributing that site obliges you to distribute any further source code. Only if you (embrace and) extend that specific product would the GPL hit you. Second, even if it does, remember that a zope site almost always includes source anyway. I guess the exception would be if you have binary-only python files or linked pre-compiled c-code or something like that. But it would be very hard to claim that those parts were 'infected' by a product on your site being GPL'ed. Third, you are only obligated to distribute source to parties you have already distributed the binary version to. I can't really see a customer buying a zope site from you and not expecting 'source' anyway. -Magnus (I'm not a lawyer) ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Zope and the GPL poison pill
Just to state my position, I have worked as a professional commercial software developer since 1994. I think the GPL is appropriate for work I do outside customer contracts. [Nils Kassube] | The problem is not that a client who paid for custom development | will get the source. It's the fact that you have to release the | source code of an enhanced GPL'ed component (and possibly stuff | built with it) for everyone else, too. (complete version at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) -- from the GPL 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, -- These are the most relevant sections. It's pretty clear that you are only obligated to distribute source to the parties you've distributed object code / executable form to. | Another issue is that in a complex object oriented environment | like Zope it's difficult to determine if you only used a GPL'ed | component or "embraced and extended" it. Actually the embrace and extension was a silly Microsoft-joke, the definition in the license text is more verbose: .. a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. .. I don't think a zope site could be defined as a 'work'. -Magnus ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
