[Zope] FSF about Zope and GPL'ed components

 work = Zope-based web site/web application

It sounds like you are building software that combines Zope and GPL'ed
software to form a single, larger program.  In this case, the whole larger
program falls under the terms of the GPL.

This is a real problem, since the license of Zope is incompatible with the
GNU GPL.  This means you can't legally distribute the system.

 
 If the GPL applies to the entire work, the resulting question is: How do I
 separate my work inside a Zope-based application from GPL'ed pieces to
 prevent this from happening?  Or do I have to rewrite the GPL part?

You cannot legally combined GPL'ed software with Zope.  You'll need to
rewrite the Zope part and release the software under a license compatible
with the Zope license, or you'll need to convince the developers of Zope to
make their license compatible with the GPL.

(In the latter case, the whole system would be covered by the GPL, so you'd
still be bound by the terms of the GPL---the only difference would be that
it'd be legally to distribute the system, since Zope wouldn't be
GPL-incompatible anymore.)
 
 Everything would be easy, if we would only be talking about programs like
 Emacs but Zope products/modules/components/whatever look more like
 libraries to me...

Regardless of whether or not a program is a library, when you combine it
with GPL'ed software to form a larger program, all of the code in the system
falls under the terms of the GPL.

Re: [Zope] ZOPE - Size reduction ???

2000-09-18 Thread Nils Kassube

Guten Abend.

 Er, this is fine if you're building a new box (and if you're using
 simple IDE drives) but rather less so if you've exceeded the capacity on
 an existing system and/or you're using SCSI drives.

I use Ultra Wide SCSI on my main workstation. Compared to what I had to
pay for a 20 MB HD for my Amiga ten years ago, it is really cheap :-)

Of course, storage is rather expensive if you're held hostage by a
proprietary workstation company with ridiculous pricing for HDs like
e.g. HP.  

 heat problems) but you've still got to manage allocation of storage to
 the new drive. If there isn't space then you're talking about adding in
 another box (rather less cheap) or transferring the data from old to new
 - slow and the accountants won't be happy about writing off the old
 one.

I don't know the situation in the Wintel world, but I did this with
Macintosh and Unix systems. I've also always been able to reuse the old
box for different purposes.

To stay on topic with Zope: You don't have to retire the old system,
instead you could use ZEO... =:-

 In addition you have to worry about the cost of the time taken to
 perform any of the above.

Yes, but you also have to consider the opportunity cost. It's not
exactly a productive use of the time of your highly paid developers to
think about things like adhering to disk quotas.

 They can only constrain *distribution* of that software and derived

 people running Zope-based sites.

I think a lot of the people running Zope sites are developing
software too. If you use e.g. ZSQL methods and DTML to connect
to a database, you _are_ a software author. Website development
in Zope is actually programming.

 LICENSE
GPL

I've seen several Zope products using the GPL. In my not so
humble opinion, this could develop into a serious problem
for Zope deployment. I'm not a lawyer (nor do I play one on TV),
but the use of GPL'ed source code like e.g. Renderable ZClass
in your web site probably means that you're now forced to publish
every single bit of source built using the GPL'ed module --
including commercial intranet projects. This can be impossible
if you don't own the rights to every single piece of code used
in a project. 

I hope Zope product developers think twice about using the GPL.
The GPL license is not about sharing like e.g. the BSD license,
it's about enforcing the political agenda of people who think
that commercial ("proprietary") software w/o source code is evil.

The problem is not that a client who paid for custom development

source code of an enhanced GPL'ed component (and possibly stuff
built with it) for everyone else, too. 

Another issue is that in a complex object oriented environment

 Und alle diese Tabellen habe ich definiert und initialisiert, bei bestimmten
 Sachen werden die einige Tabelle gefunden, oder andere Tabellen gar nicht.

In welchem DBMS, Name und Version sind hilfreich, wurden die 
Tabellen definiert? Wie wird auf sie zugegriffen? Wie ist
die Rechtevergabe? Welches Betriebssystem?

Auffällig ist doch schon einmal, daß die Probleme scheinbar
nur auftreten, wenn versucht wird, Datensätze zu löschen. 

 Bitte könnte jemanden mir helfen, diese Fehler aufzuheben?

Vielleicht :-)

Tip: Wenn man andere um Hilfe bitte, immer alle relevanten
Informationen mitliefern. Wenn man im Zweifel ist, lieber
zuviel Details geben als zuwenig. 

Cheers,
Nils

 browser with the name as valname. Then how do i print this valname thru
 dtml.

This is easy. 

dtml-var valname

See the rules for "Name Lookup" in the DTML Reference Guide. There
are circumstances where it's not so simple... 

 ofcourse i checked out with the guides but could locate cgi calls,

That's so because the documentation sucks^H^H^H^H^Hneeds to
be improved. Digital Creations is aware of this.

 ps: dont kick me out, everybody has to have a start.

We are all gentle tolerant people here. Well, most of the time.

 i tried out this but this isnt working  out for me. can you point out the
 error.

The DTML source is okay. This should work. 

 when i submit the form the print page is outputted but the value of the
 textbox(valname) is not outputted. whats wrong?

What do you mean by "the print page is outputted"? Do you see
the source? Or is only the dtml-var valname part not displayed?

 build on.  What I did not find about LaTeX was a screenshot (isn't it
 a wysiwg enviroment on top of TeX marked-up text) and a content link

No. LaTeX is, simply phrased, a collection of macros and templates
for the TeX system. They include a lot of professional typesetting
and design know-how which is applied dynamically to the document,
so the author of the paper can concentrate on the content, rather
than on the layout. You can still give explicit layout commands,
if you know what you're doing. (Most people imho don't.) 
 
LyX is a document processor for Unix and Win32 building on the
LaTeX/TeX engine which uses a wysiwym approach. It's worth one
or two looks:

http://www.lyx.org/about/

Yes, there are screenshots =:- 
 
 XML stuff in zope. Which leads me to the later suggestion, I have
 tried out DocBook product, rendering is very slow on my computer.

You could use any of the tools on

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/tools/index.html

and then import the exported HTML and PDF documents to your
Zope installations to avoid the speed penalty. 

Cheers,
Nils

Why do you want to use Zope for this? What's the expected

Re: [Zope] PowerMac 7500 with LinuxPPC and Zope?

2000-06-28 Thread Nils Kassube

Guten Abend.

 Should I consider a different linux distribution than PPC?

SuSE 6.4 is now also available for the Power Macintosh and other
PowerPC platforms. I'm very interested in knowing if Zope runs 
as good on SuSE/PPC as on SuSE/x86. Please try it... :-)

You can have this with LaTeX _and_ an excellent quality

 together with the actual content I am producing, delving into a

 I have never used LaTeX.

You should change this :-)

Well, I found there _is_ a reverse attribute to the dtml-in
tag, but it's not documented in my version (2.1.0, 1999/12/17)
of the DTML Reference. It works.
