Sounds like promissory estoppel to me. On 06/14/2011 it was ordered to dismiss the claims against Insignia (the defendant was Best Buy) WITH PREJUDICE per stipulation filed by Busybox Plaintiffs and Insignia (the defendant was Best Buy). http://terekhov.de/204.pdf (In exchange Best Buy agreed that its counter claims against Busybox plaintiffs be dismissed as well).

Mai 2000 hat das Bundesjustizministerium einen Gesetzesvorschlag eingereicht, der das Urheberrecht modernisieren sollte. Dabei wurde in den Bestimmungen zur angemessenen Vergütung des Urhebers festgelegt, dass dem Schöpfer eines Werkes eine angemessene Beteiligung an den Einnahmen gebührt.[2] In der Open-Source-Bewegung wurde dieser Vorschlag stark kritisiert, da er das Geschäftsmodell von freier Software und anderen auf Lizenzen wie der GPL beruhenden Werken unmöglich machen würde. Dies führte dazu, dass auf Vorschlag des Instituts für Rechtsfragen der Freien und Open Source Software die heute gültige Bestimmung im Gesetzesentwurf vom 26. Juni 2001 von Fraktionen des Bundestags aufgenommen wurde.[3] In der Begründung hieß es dazu: Der gesetzliche Vergütungsanspruch ist im Interesse des Urheberschutzes im Voraus unverzichtbar, soweit der Urheber nicht jedermann unentgeltlich ein einfaches Nutzungsrecht einräumt (Absatz 4 Satz 1). Die aufgenommene Einschränkung beugt einer befürchteten Rechtsunsicherheit für Open Source Programme und anderem Open Content vor; im Bereich derartiger Lizenzbeziehungen, bei denen der Urheber sein Werk der Allgemeinheit unentgeltlich zur Verfügung stellt, kann weder eine zu Lasten des Urhebers gestörte Vertragsparität vorliegen, noch sind insofern Missbrauchsmöglichkeiten denkbar.[4] Dieser Vorschlag wurde ins verabschiedete Gesetz aufgenommen. Er stellt die Verwendung freier Lizenzen wie der GNU General Public License in Deutschland auf eine rechtlich abgesicherte Basis. regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) ___ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss

Except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.'

Direct from UeberConf, Stuart Sierra will speak about Clojure and the Expression Problem. --- What is the Expression Problem? The question is far from academic: any programmer working in mainstream object-oriented languages is bound to encounter it. As a young language on the JVM, Clojure has the opportunity to step back from mainstream approaches to object-oriented design, and get back to core concepts like type and polymorphism. As a Lisp, Clojure can offer features to achieve the goals of OOP with far greater flexibility than a traditional Object Oriented language ever could. Stuart Sierra is an actor/writer/coder who lives in New York City. He is a member of the Clojure/core team at Relevance, Inc. Stuart is the co-author of Practical Clojure (Apress, 2010). He received an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University and a B.F.A. in Theatre from New York University. --- The meeting will be at Meetup HQ, 632 Broadway, 3rd floor.

MICROSOFT ALERT!
For more than ten years, there's been a huge flood of lying anti-Linux propaganda posts sent to COLA, about 500,000 of them. Almost all have been posted via anonymous false identities, like Lt Cmdr. Gaston J. Feeblebunny. There is one, and only one, entity that has attacked Linux over and over again, by many different means, including anonymous propaganda messages, false advertising, fraudulent lawsuits, etc., for fifteen years, and that is the Microsoft Corporation. It has spent well over $100,000,000 doing this. In 1998, it was found that a flood of pro-Microsoft propaganda messages with fake identities were being posted to Usenet actually from within the microsoft.com domain, by paid Microsoft employees: http://everything2.com/title/Microsoft+grassroots+support The flood of propaganda messages, mostly attacking Linux, using every variety of lie, obscenity, personal attack, etc, has never stopped. But the senders have since employed various techniques to prevent the messages from being traced back to their source. I've compiled a page of links to articles detailing Microsoft's years of attacks on Linux (which have used many more techniques than just propaganda messages): http://cosmicpenguin.com/linux/MICROSOFTS_WAR_AGAINST_LINUX.html If you read through the sites linked on that page, you'll get an idea of the extent of evil perpetrated by the Microsoft Corporation, even though I've only referenced its attacks on Linux; the company has done many other bad things as well. Seeing all the references together on one page has a powerful effect. One can't say, That's just a single incident. You can see that it's a WAR. Apparently the Microsoft Corporation really doesn't want people to read that information, because it has posted through one of its anonymous identities a totally false warning that my site is dangerous. It's not. I don't use Javascript, Flash, or PHP, just simple HTML. Microsoft has anonymously posted similar bogus warnings against http://techrights.org , a site run by Roy Schestowitz that exposes Microsoft's crimes in great detail. Microsoft really is evil. It's hard to accept that at first, but if you read the evidence, and think about all of it together, the conclusion is inescapable. On Dec 6, 10:51 am, Lt Cmdr. Gaston J.

This month, we focus our attention on Scheme with John Cowan's much-anticipated talk on R7RS. --- Scheme is undergoing another revision cycle. Because of widespread dissatisfaction with and resistance to R6RS, the Scheme Steering Committee (Will Clinger, Marc Feeley, Chris Hanson, Jonathan Rees, and Olin Shivers) decided to standardize two Schemes: a small language, the direct successor to R5RS; and a large language, potentially larger than R6RS or even ANSI Common Lisp. Two Working Groups called WG1 and WG2 respectively were selected by the Committee from volunteers. WG1 has been working busily, enhancing R5RS with new features and improvements on existing features, with reference to the consistency of the language and consistency with existing implementations. The completion of that process is now in sight with the publication of the third working draft of the small language. John Cowan is a member of both WGs and the chair of WG2. His talk will discuss the goals of small Scheme, what WG1 has done, what it has left to do, and (time permitting) something of WG2's work and plans to date. --- This month's meeting will be at Meetup HQ, 632 Broadway, 3rd floor.

It appears so, when judged solely by immediate practical convenience. However, if we also judge in terms of human rights, whether digital inclusion is good or bad depends on what kind of digital world we are to be included in.

The copyright holders wish to use their exclusive rights granted to them by copyright law to encourage growth of free software. They do this by granting permission to copy and distribute their copyrighted work only to those who comply with the GPL, in the belief that such compliance accomplishes what they wish. Copying and distributing BusyBox in violation of the GPL will not, in the plaintiffs' opinion, encourage the growth of free software, and therefore their copyright is being devalued. You don't /seriously/ expect fascist nuts like Terekhov to understand value in terms other than money, do you? The value of Free Software is its freedom, including the Freedom to make money from it, as Red Hat, Google and others have done, provided the beneficiaries extend that same freedom to others. WD took all the benefits, but didn't extend them to others, and so violated the GPL.

It is thus often spoken of as if it were some Beefeaters-and-warm-beer eccentricity of the Sceptered Isle. But it has no special connection with England. It has prevailed for millennia in Europe, developing early in Roman law and spreading from there to the civil law systems that evolved all over the continent and became codified in France, Germany, and elsewhere around the time of Napoleon. It even developed in the church courts.

Re: Framework Licensing Questions
Tim tim-proje...@sentinelchicken.org wrote: Hello, I have a moderately complex licensing scenario that I was hoping someone could help me navigate. Here is what I *want* to do, though it may not work: A. Build a framework which is licensed under the LGPLv3 B. Write wrapper plugins for the framework which link various third-party libraries having multiple different open source licenses, including CPL, IBM Public, old BSD, and GPL v2/v3 C. Write proprietary, closed-source plugins for the framework which are sold to help support development of the framework The most likely distribution model for each component, is that the framework and wrapper plugins would be distributed by me in one package; the third-party libraries would be distributed by Linux distributions in a standard way; and the proprietary plugins would be distributed in a separate package by me. However, it may make sense to distribute all components together as a VM or something similar to make deployment easier. My questions are: The obvious answer is you need to consult a specialist lawyer; nobody in this mailing list is known to be such. However... 1. Which of the above scenarios could cause licensing problems? 1.A. Does the use of a GPLv2 or GPLv3 third-party library create a condition where the framework itself must be considered GPLed such that the proprietary modules or other third-party libraries are then incompatible? Must be considered doesn't exist in this area. You license your software as you see fit, and whatever license you choose will place restrictions on what it can be combined with. It sounds like you want to create a non-GPL derived work of GPL'd works. Doing this is clearly contrary to the aims of free software, and you can be certain that the authors of the GPL took your strategy into account when formulating it. 1.B. Does the method of distribution of each components make a difference? If I strictly distribute each component separately (or rely on OS distributions to distribute the third-party libraries) does this help me avoid some issues? Unlikely to make a difference. Does a pair of shoes cease to be a pair if you pack it in two separate boxes? (A pair of trousers would, though. :-) 2. The plugins I write for my framework would be adhering to a published API that is part of the framework. Does this help me satisfy any System Library clauses or something similar to avoid license conflicts? If your library is a legitimately licensed bona fide system library, then there won't be a problem. If, on the other hand, it's a subterfuge to assist in the violation of the GPL, it won't work. Any other issues I should consider? I just want to make sure I understand the implications of this approach and what restrictions I might be under if I try to push this as an open source development model. What you're proposing isn't an open source development model. It's a closed source one where you intend to subvert the GPL for your purposes. You're not the first person to dream up schemes like this, not by a long way. So far, none of them have come to anything. That might be a guide to the answers to your questions. Why don't you just avoid GPL'd works altogether? There's plenty of imprisonable software available with licenses like the BSDs. Or, alternatively, write the missing bits yourself.

I am curious to know for learning and contributing to FSF. This should be more on-topic for gnu.misc.discuss, so I'm cross-posting and setting Followup-To: there. (Beware of the troll there, though; for some newsgroups, killfiles are a must.) You've just met one of these trolls. (There are more than one.) The idea is to provide funding for the FSF (and thus, partly, for the GNU project.) The ???basic??? associate membership is $120 per year (or half that price for currently enrolled students.) To join, one can use the form at: https://my.fsf.org/associate/support_freedom/join_fsf To join and ask FSF to thank me for that: https://my.fsf.org/associate/support_freedom/join_fsf?referrer=7257 -- FSF associate member #7257 What percentage of collected funds is spend on writing code for the GNU project and not on fat salaries to the FSF crooks not writing any code for the GNU project? A lot of the funds will be spent on maintaining GNU infrastructure - premises, servers, and bandwidth all have to be paid for. And yes, fat salaries will be paid to FSF crooks, such as sys-admins, administrative staff, and so on. Few, if any, of these FSF crooks will be writing code for a GNU project. regards, alexander. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). ___ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
Re: Hi!
Hi gnudists! Just subscribed :D Hi to you, too! I'm afraid there's not much going on here at the moment, but you're welcome nevertheless. FYI, the news to mail gateway was down for some considerable time. The admins just got it back up today; hence the unslaught of mail. ___ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
