Ximian to Change License for Mono
A Commentor writes: "According to news.com Ximian is changing the license to Mono from GPL to a variant of the XFree license. Apparently this is due to a partnership with Intel."

Yes, I am so proud of it. I even do this on Fark.com
- All your code module licensing are belong to us!
Whew.Actually, since they are changing the licensing for their modules only to the XFree86 license and not the entire Mono, I don't think we will see too much trouble. Besides, it's not like the X license is all that bad now, is it?

I've pretty much given up on Ximian. They seem to be focusing on staying two steps behind Microsoft (Evolution, Mono, Gnumeric...) rather than keeping up with Linux (their Red Carpet service is at least one version behind for SuSE, Mandrake, no version for Slackware).
I'd really like to try Evolution, but it's a dependency nightmare from Hell to download package-by-package or from source and the Red Carpet service that's supposed to make life easy is one version behind both of the platforms that I have that I could use it on.
Meanwhile, they're spending their time trying to copy Microsoft crap for Linux with no clear way to make money on it, but giving Microsoft and other proprietary companies ample leeway to steal parts of the code or to release proprietary extensions.
Something's very wrong with this picture.
I do it wrong
Laying here in the shadows of my room, I squint up at my love. My Ms. Portman. I am sore and tired after fucking her for eight solid hours. My chapped and aching dick is soaking in grits to relieve the pain. She gets on her knees and starts lapping the grits up out of the bowl. She places her beautiful hands on my penis and starts to lick the grits off my achy piece.
Massaging my nutsack she....
WAIT, I DO IT WRONG!!!!
Yanking my dick out of her mouth I throw her to the ground and shove it in to her gaping freshly fisted ass. [goatse.cx]
"OH BIG ASS SPORK!! Fuck my ass, fuck my ass good. DEEPER, my stallion, deeper!! Make a Beowulf cluster of sperm on my back!!"
"Imagine a Beowulf cluster of this baby!"
I DO IT WRONG!!!!
I continue to hump her alabaster form. Glistening with beads of sweat, she bites her lip in delight as I tear her ass open with my engorged dick.
"Queen Amidala!!" I shreik as I near climax.
She looks up at me and screams, "You are so alive in me, unlike *BSD or VA Software!!! Fill me with seed!! Yes, Yes, Yess!!!!"
"For me you are calling, hhhmmm?"
"YODA?!? What the fuck, can't you see I am using the force here?"
He savagely kicks my Natalie aside, he pulls out his large green penis and impales me...
I DO IT WRONG!!
All your sporkz are belong to the dead homiez!!

The article mentions that Microsoft is more favorable to BSD style licenses (so they can use the code in Windows, which they did for Windows 95 TCP/IP related stuff, though AFAIK most/all has been replaced by their own code now)
So how come no one has ever used a BSD style license that specifically excludes the code from being used in code distributed by Microsoft or its subsidiaries? OK, the list of "evil companies" some people would want would grow and grow, but let's say it was limited to just Microsoft, due to their monopoly and wanting to prevent them from doing an "embrace and extend" like they did with Kerberos.
Sounds like a good idea to me, but maybe I'm not thinking of some important drawbacks?

What idiots mismoderated this "Insightful"?
It's INFORMATIVE, dammit! Maybe even "Interesting", if you swing that way, but "Insightful"?
Apparently some moderators wouldn't know "Insightful" if it bit them in the ass!
