Digital Rights Management Operating System
Anonymous Coward sent in a note about Microsoft being granted a patent on a "Digital Rights Management Operating System". Anything more to say? Nope, don't think so. After Windows XP will be Windows DRM.
Microsoft released the DRM-update on WindowsUpdate today.
Anything more to say? Nope, don't think so. I guess I should be the one to say 'Last Post!'
Were you and those lawyers ignorant of technical detail or just hallucinating? I work for a LARGE bank that commonly uses GPLed software (particularly Apache, sendmail, compilers and interpreted languages such as perl) and they have all been run through our legal dept.(and you can't get any more legal-conscious than a bank). GPLed software is used by Sun and IBM who are acutely aware (and far more capable of dealing with) software legalities. When I worked for Motorola (another intellectual property power house) open source was in common use there. So imagine my surprise when morons like you waste tons of time and client money doing stupid things like rewriting entire projects because you didn't check the facts. Our do you work for Anderson and that is how you generate revenue? Second note. You don't need to defrag ext2 but if you wanted to manually use the tool that is provided. Third note: token ring support is part of standard RedHat distros.. Fourth note: Keep your dangerous ignorance to yourself.
