In looking at the article and the incompatibilities, I have found a chart on
ZFS was included in FreeBSD 7.0 because the BSD
license is more free than the GPL with that regard.
And if NetApp win against Sun they can sue FreeBSD now, for
triple
damages which would be millions and the end of FreeBSD.
That is a big IF, maybe it should be an iff (IF and ONLY IF) like
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
$ uname -o

FTR, I don't regard myself as one of the authors of
GPLv3. Although I
have participated in the process to some extent, and
contributed a few
ideas that ended up in the final version, I didn't
write any of the
sentences in it.

The GPL then violates #9 in the definition

It doesn't, really. It applies to a program, and to

This is not a very accurate picture.
There's no GPL enforcement whatsoever involved in the

Does anyone actually compile anything today?
I do :)
I compile mplayer from source, I compile gnome-mplayer, certain other programs
as well :) This way I have no one to blame but myself, when the new versions
are released I recompile again and am happy with the results :)

There are always doubts about the terms and validity of
licenses until
courts speak on the matter. That may be fortunate or
unfortunate
depending on your point of view.
Which courts do you mean?
International courts or U.S. based courts?
If you are considering the U.S. based courts, I have
Hi all,
I'm running Fedora 9 with KDE from the kde-redhat repo.
I've installed gnash and gnash-klash but Konqueror

that I need to enable JavaScript (already enabled) or a
newer

Apart from developers, of course.
Yes we users sure do Timothy:

That makes no difference to US patent law.

That's got to be the dumbest thing I've heard you
say yet. It is the
height of head in the sand syndrome.
It is because of patents that many users out there do not have things easier :)

Microsoft would almost certainly have been displaced

other companies building better products
And we're probably going to see a regime change for the
better here
soon. As I said, the pendulum swings back and forth.
Right now it is
in a bad place. I have high hopes that we'll swing the
other way soon.
I hope so too :)
If McCain wins, will there be a change?

So far I haven't seen a pro-GNU/Linux person
describe what GNU/Linux is and
what it isn't. It would be interesting to see
whether they include the
kitchen sink in GNU/Linux.
Correction: Alexandre Oliva has said that an
operating system is a kernel
plus a bunch of userland libraries
It would be nice to have a percentage of which
programs/sub projects
make up an entire Linux distribution and see by
numbers which
projects make up a higher percentage.
Just checking, did you see that I posted links to pages
that have
these numbers for recent distros twice in this
You're still talking as if your opponents want to name
entire
distributions GNU/Linux. I'm not so sure
that there really is anyone who
wants to name entire distributions GNU/Linux.
Are you sure that there are
people who want to do this? Do you have any evidence?
They do, take a look
I really could not care less what it is called, just
that the
bleedin' thing works.
If you don't care, then wouldn't object to calling
it GNU/Linux,
right?

yourselves if you want to confirm it
