The incorporator can do either of these things.  He can also 
distribute obfuscated object code.  The only thing he has to permit is 
linking with the independently written lgpl library.

and no one can distribute a program that contains both of these.  

The problem here is that GPL2 and GPL3 are not compatible licences.
So there's a great divide between code that can be included in a 
project licenced under GPL2 and code that can be incorporated in a  
GPL3 project.  Saying GLP2+ obviates some of this problem.

Of course, an MIT licence is compatible with all the GPL licences.

You know, I do the same thing.

No, this entire 'forcing to reveal' thing is a blatant crock, just like
the 'forcing to open-source' allegation frequently leveled against GPLv2
over the years.  There is no legal mechanism available to copyright
holders to compel revelation of source code by creator of a derivative
work, just as there is no legal mechanism to compel open-sourcing of
derivatives.  Neither of those is available in civil tort litigation as
a remedy for (proven-in-court) copyright violation.  The courts offer
these remedies:

1.  Injunction against further violation (an equity remedy)
2.  Monetary damages (a remedy 'at law', i.e., one of recompense).

With any copyright licensing, proprietary or open source, the courts 
apply the same standard of review and offer the same remedy if the
defendent is found to have violated copyright:  Was defendent's actions
a violation of the copyright owner's reserved rights (or in the
alternative did defendent have lawful access to those rights under
licence)?  Did defendent's actions touch plaintiff's rights, e.g., by
creating/distributing a derivative work as that term is defined in
copyright law?  Did plaintiff have standing to bring suit?  If rights
were at stake and infringed, which remedies are merited and how much
money?

Nowhere in that process is 'force the other guy to reveal source code'
or 'force the other guy to open-source a derivative work'.  Because
those simply _aren't_ part of the copyright legal process.

No, I'm not a lawyer, and even if I were would not be _your_ lawyer
unless certified to the bar in your jurisdiction and working for you.
But I am the former licensing guy at VA Linux Systems, Inc. and one of
the regulars on the OSI license-discuss and license-review mailing lists
for some decades, now.

You could avoid your hapless self-trapping into obscurity by specifying
'MIT License as published at https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT' --
and you could _also_ explicitly waive the hidden obligation you're
accidentally imposing on third parties to add in the 'Expat License'
text you omit from your works.  I've told you this before.

Show of hands:  Is there anyone here except me or Steve who has ever
heard the phrase 'Expat License' uttered by anyone but Steve Litt?
(Anyone, anyone?  Bueller?)  Steve, there's your main problem.  You
bought a line from FSF perspective-challenged dumbasses that the
expression 'MIT License' is 'too ambiguous' and that therefore licensors
should use a term nobody knows, instead.

Don't you know better than to take FSF advice without due wariness for
dumbassery?

Yes, you do.

FSF is legally constrained _very_ tightly by tax and corporate law to
follow its declared charitable purpose.  It literally has no legal power
to be anything but a free-software outfit.

Morever, ignoring that, if Cthulhu arises from R'lyeh, moves to
Cambridge, takes over FSF, and somehow defeats the entire body of
corporate regulatory law to make FSF a House of the Old Gods devoted to
proprietary software or whatever, what do you imagine GPL v. 3.1 
could declare that prevents utterly obvious workarounds?  Consider
cases:

1.  Evil Future FSF makes GPLv3.1 specify tightly proprietary terms.
Remedy for copyright owners of GPLv2+ codebases:  Ignore 
this option.

2.  Evil Future FSF makes GPLv3.1 specify permissive terms.  Remedy for
copyright owners of GPLv2+ codebases:  Accept that a one-time
permissive fork can now occur, change the main branch's code
to GPLv2, and soldier on.  But an option for a permissive fork
isn't actual horrible, I'd say.

3.  Evil Future FSF makes GPLv3.1 require a giveaway of licensor's patent,
trademark, or other rights.  Remedy for copyright owners of 
GPLv2+ codebases:  Same as case 1.

Basically, hypothetical Evil Future FSF has no power to actually
hurt you.  If you can think of a way, I'm (as my barber says) all ears.

I use copyleft licenses when:

1) The work is a substantial coding effort

And,

2) I see very little reason for someone to use parts of my code in
   proprietary programs.

In theory I'd use lgpl in cases of #2, but lgpl, if I remember
correctly, forces the person incorporating the code into either
revealing his source code or submitting very reverse-engineerable
object code (I don't remember which).

For little projects I just use the Expat license, which practically the
same as one of the BSD licenses and one of the MIT licenses, except
there's only one Expat license so there's no ambiguity.

For copyleft stuff I usually use GPLv2 because I understand it, but for
my recent UMENU2 I used GPLv3 because it addresses software patents. I
*NEVER* include the words "or later", because I have no idea what kind
of animals might take over the FSF in later times.

I never use licenses with mentions of indemnification. I'm not an
insurace company.

Danger Will Robinson:

The preceding fails on Void Linux setups. It dies with the dreaded
"webkit based browser suddenly aborts" symptom.

What I've found is that if you want to do this in stable manner (at
least on Void), you need the following command, EXACTLY:

tabbed surf -peg

The "p" arg tells it not to use plugins, which is what is needed to fix
the sudden abort. Too bad Midori and the rest don't have the same arg.
the "e" supposedly tells it to re-parent, but supposedly requires an
argument for the parent. . The "g" prevents geolocation: The
command runs fine without it, if you're willing to give away your
position.

The order of the three letters in the *single argument* appear to be
very important. My experience was that unless the first letter is "p",
you get some variation of the "webkit suddenly vanishes" problem. The
"e" is necessary when running surf from tabbed, but fails if you run
tab alone. As mentioned previously, "g" is optional as far as the
browser running without crashing is concerned.

How is v3 kinder on violators?  As far as I know, it has a lot of 
restrictions to forbid various kinds of abuse.

And to reach maximum availability for various forms of reuse, please 
if you want to use GPL2 or 3, use GPL2+.

I'd be happy with a freeer license, too.  There. a word with three

Steve leans strongly towards permissive licensing, of the MIT-ish
flavour.  

Copyright violation is actually possible under permissive licences, too:
The obvious way is to wrongfully remove another contributor's copyright 
notice from incumbent source code -- as a judge found AT Bell Labs to
have done in his preliminary ruling in the AT v. UC Regents lawsuit 
(the BSD lawsuit), just before the case was quietly settled.  But
they're rare, because you have to be kind of a colossal idiot to violate
them.

Apparently you haven't seen the systemd model. The drive shaft twirl a
planetary gear system, which drives a pair of rubber belts that
transfer power to the transmission, which is mounted on the front fork.
The transmission generates electricity for the motor, with gear ratios
achieved by coil windings. The drive shifts gears by switching the
sockets into which the windings are plugged: This technology is called
socket activation. The transmission drives the chain, which drives the
front wheel.

What is the option "-g" for? Mine seems to not have it.
According to the man page, plugins should be supported by copying them
to /usr/lib/browser-plugins. What type of plugins? Firefox? Chrome? Is
it possible to use Lastpass? Do you have an example?
Is it possible to load Google as default page? When I append a URL the
-e option does not work.

[DNG] Backports priority

2017-02-26 Thread J. Fahrner
According to this documentation:

https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

Backports should have a priority of 100 in the Release file:

" /All backports are deactivated by default (i.e. the packages are
pinned to 100 by using ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes in the Release files"/

This seems not to be the case with Devuan. I had to pin it explicitely
in the preferences file.

Regards

Jochen

That will never happen ;-)
It's shaft drive.
