  1. Re:Software Patents Considered Harmful by Minna+Kirai · · Score: 1 · on Aspect-Oriented Programming Considered Harmful

    AC: Anyone can use a number of the general purpose AOP languages like AspectJ (theres even AspectScheme).

    It is true that the patent owner provided a license to use it in AspectJ.

    AC Moreover, you can program in aspect style without any special language mechanisms.

    Yes, anyone can go do that. You'll just be breaking the law, which many people find not much of an obstacle. The license Xerox gave to AspectJ only applies to the implementation they provided. Re-implementing those kinds of features yourself is worthy of a lawsuit.

    AC: The patents are no problem at all

    Do your own research, then. Type "aspectj" "patent" into google.com and see what comes up. (You'll get articles like this, which straightforwardly explains that AspectJ is an implementation of someone's patent)

  3. The License is *very* interesting by tpgp · · Score: 5, Informative · on Software for the Grass Roots

    The AGPL is a GNU recognized free software license.

    It's essentially a modified GPL - with a "running this software over a network constitutes distribution" clause.

    Very cool - I had no idea this was around - might be worth some Free Software developers jumping onto until GPL v3 comes out (which will have a similar clause).

    For those who have no idea what I'm going on about - read devchannel's explanation: Closing the GPL's distibution loophole

    It shows me an ad for OSDN devchannel.org. Maybe you're using windows and a spyware program on your computer is replacing the ads?

    Why not boot a mepis (debian) live CD, and try again?
