Please accept my sincere apologies, especially Orna and Or. When Or emailed to postpone this talk (it was originally scheduled on what turned out to be a W2L slot) he gave tomorrow as a possible replacement slot and I ACKed the cancellation and completely missed this alternative date and have only become aware of it due to this email. Unfortunately, I can't possibly make it tomorrow, or in the foreseeable future for that matter. To relieve any doubt, this is utterly my own fault and not Orna or Or and I once again ask for your forgiveness but my talk is definitely canceled for tomorrow.

I think linking to a FOSS product (GPL'd) is a bit more problematic, but for this you can write some simple wrappers. A wrapper would still be a problem as the wrapper would also have to be GPL. IANAL but I think that an exception may be if you use the GPLed library as a sort of plugin that can be fulfilled also by other libraries. For example you can implement a simple inefficient proprietary library and a wrapper that allows using the GPLed one as well and then you are easier of with your claim. One of the reasons that a lot of major libraries (at least those that interest me) us the LGPL to bypass this problem. Personally I try to stick to using LGPLed software to avoid any issues. In any case, if you distribute a (L)GPLed library you need to distribute the source to that in any case. You are wrong. Every distribution triggers the GPL. Changed source code or not does not make any difference and linking to a GPLed library usually (some exceptions apply) triggers the GPL if you are actually distributing the library. I've worked with some companies that linked/used GPLed software and also followed some of these arguments previously. Which way dynamic linking goes is a debatable issue (whether it can be considered derived work or not) and the subject of many a flame war. It's never been tested in court though (neither linking nor direct violation) so there is no precedence whether the GPL can be enforced.

Modifying Javascript on-the-fly is Firefox
Hi Linux-IL members,
I need to interact with web based application at a client location. This
application suffers from an easy to fix bug in its Javascript source syntax
that makes the application unusable under Firefox.
Is there any way to run a sed equivalent on the Javascript source before it
gets parsed by Firefox? Can Greasemonkey do the trick? If so, how?
TIA,
baruch
