[SLUG] Company rebranding FOSS and selling it
Hello, This is my first post. I hope this is a good question. There is a business in Sydney that is re-branding SME (contribs.org aka e-smith) and claiming it as there own. What (if any) is the best course of action to take against this company? A bit more information. This company sells pre-installed SMEserver linux boxes and sells support. I know that is not a crime and i know rebranding some FOSS software isnt a crime also but the bad part is that they claim they developed the software inhouse. They prey on the NOT linux-savvy and their ignorance to the technology. They also do a very poor job of supporting the product. I am not sure of the appropriateness of posting the companies details here but I will do so if enough people think it is appropriate. Also I have alot more information regarding there services. Thanks for your time, Jeff Grima -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Thanks for your time, Jeff Grima It depends on what license the software was released under. If it's the GPL then the company has to provide the source along with the servers as well as keeping all copyright attributions. There may be a case for deceptive practices if they have removed copyright notices and replaced them with their own. Have you tried talking with the company and finding out whether or not they are planning on meeting their requirements under the license? -- James Purser http://k-sit.com Skype: purserj1977 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Company rebranding FOSS and selling it
Thanks, Before this gets into a debate about the GPL I want to just clarify that SMEserver is distributed under the GPL see; http://www.contribs.org/contribs/bobk/SME_Manual/chpt-01.2.html and is actually in the web interface, so if that is removed we have a problem. also this site puts it plain and simple about the gpl. http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-violation.html I am not saying the companies name right now but will be tomorrow.. I just want to ring and hear him say he made the software first person as I have only heard of them saying it via third person. thanks On Tue, 2005-07-26 at 10:24 +0100, Rev Simon Rumble wrote: On 26/7/2005, Jeff Grima [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am doing some further investigation into this, What are the things to look for?

[SLUG] VPN solutions

[NT workstation 3] and internet.[adsl-router]--[NT workstation 4] I need to establish a VPN from 4 to (1,2,3) I looked at http://sourceforge.net/projects/amvpn perfect, except a linux box at each end. I looked at SuSE's pptpd. All in German, seems to be very complicated and wants to use a modem-ppp connection. I looked at openswan. Complicated again. The easiest solution, a router/adsl at each end to do VPN-VPN is hard for non technical reasons. Anybody please, a simple linux-vpn to windows-vpn both sides have internet connectivity.

I looked at SuSE's pptpd. All in German, seems to be very complicated and wants to use a modem-ppp connection. PPTP under linux isn't really all that hard.

Kind of a shame, because it does everything you need, is very easy to get up and running (I have an almost identical setup to what you describe running at home) and I'd probably trust it more than PPTP. I'm starting to think that PPTP might be your best option. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] VPN solutions
I wanted to suggest OpenVPN ( http://openvpn.net/ ), but checking the site briefly suggests it only runs on Windows NT. Very definitely not the case; I'm using it right now to secure the wireless connection from my Fedora-powered laptop to my RedHat gateway server (yes, I need to upgrade the gateway). AFAIK, it runs on pretty much any kind of *nix, and is surprisingly easy to get running. Incidentally, if anybody has any tips for getting it to do the same under Windows, I'd love to hear them...

AFAIK, it runs on pretty much any kind of *nix, and is surprisingly easy to get running. Sorry, what I meant to say is that it runs on a wide variety of operating systems, including windows 2000 and XP, but not NT. I have an OpenVPN network with Linux, BSD and Windows XP endpoints. Incidentally, if anybody has any tips for getting it to do the same under Windows, I'd love to hear them... From memory it was fairly simple to set up a routed network following the directions in the HOWTO[1] and win32 install notes[2]. But we did have a lot of problems using certificate authentication, and ended up going with a shared key instead. It was a while ago though, and I didn't do any of the work on the Windows end (that box lives in Poland..).

The easy-rsa scripts that come with openvpn are a great starting point. openvpn gui makes it easy for windows users to connect, change passwords and do other stuff. http://openvpn.se I think. There are guis for macOSX and linux as well. I want to get it working with ifup-down sometime for debian. dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Apache virtual server configuration
We're just converting over from our web server being a single site
server (root in /var/www/html/) to also hosting an Intranet/Extranet
site. So we want to move the site over to /var/www/html/website, but
although we've added a new virtual server in httpd.conf, it still goes
back to the /var/www/html/ location. Can anyone offer some ideas?
It's Redhat ES3. The httpd.conf file (stripped) is attached

RE: [SLUG] Apache virtual server configuration
Hi Edwin, We're just converting over from our web server being a single site server (root in /var/www/html/) to also hosting an Intranet/Extranet site. So we want to move the site over to /var/www/html/website, but although we've added a new virtual server in httpd.conf, it still goes back to the /var/www/html/ location. Can anyone offer some ideas? Not sure if the following will work, but it's based on referring to a working vhost config (apache 1.3)... VirtualHost 202.173.184.198 ServerName www.ironstone.com.au DocumentRoot /var/www/html/website/ HostNameLookups off /VirtualHost HTH, - Rog -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Apache virtual server configuration
Edwin, When you are using NameVirtualHost (I.E HTTP/1.1) you need to give the site a name. something like; NameVirtualHost 202.173.184.198:80 VirtualHost 202.173.184.198:80 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName www.ironstome.com.au DocumentRoot /var/www/html/website/ ErrorLog logs/ironstone-error_log CustomLog logs/ironstone-access_log common /VirtualHost VirtualHost 202.173.184.198:80 ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName ww2.ironstome.com.au DocumentRoot /var/www/html/website2/ ErrorLog logs/ironstone2-error_log CustomLog logs/ironstone2-access_log common /VirtualHost HTH P. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Apache virtual server configuration
Guys, Thanks for your input. I've tried all that, and it still stubbornly loads what in the document root directory, rather than the test file in the /website directory. Does it make any difference in all this that the actual server is on an internal IP behind a port-forwarding firewall?

Roger, Well, that worked (thanks for that), but on restarting httpd, I got an error message: Starting httpd: [Wed Jul 27 10:13:37 2005] [warn] NameVirtualHost 202.173.184.198:0 has no VirtualHosts.

Re: [SLUG] Company rebranding FOSS and selling it
Hi In the issue 07/2005 of the Linux Magazin (German issue) there is a story about Harald Welte who developed some stuff of the netfilter (netfilter.org). He sued a lot of companies which violates the GPL when they put the netfilter in their router. He started gpl-violations.org ; maybe there are some hints. Cheers, Thomas Am Dienstag, 26. Juli 2005 09:53 schrieb Jeff Grima: Hello, This is my first post. I hope this is a good question. There is a business in Sydney that is re-branding SME (contribs.org aka e-smith) and claiming it as there own. What (if any) is the best course of action to take against this company? A bit more information. This company sells pre-installed SMEserver linux boxes and sells support. I know that is not a crime and i know rebranding some FOSS software isnt a crime also but the bad part is that they claim they developed the software inhouse. They prey on the NOT linux-savvy and their ignorance to the technology. They also do a very poor job of supporting the product. I am not sure of the appropriateness of posting the companies details here but I will do so if enough people think it is appropriate. Also I have alot more information regarding there services.
