MAPS vs. Gordon Feyck: Who Owns the DUL?
etrnl writes "The spam-l mailing list has an interesting post from Nick Nicholas about a recent lawsuit between MAPS, LLC. and Gordon Fecyk, who had arranged with Paul Vixie to host the DUL with MAPS in 1998. Even more interesting is that Nick was the Executive Director of MAPS who hired Gordon at MAPS in 1999. Notable quote from Nick: 'I find
it extremely ironic that an organization which is currently soliciting donations
to its own legal defense fund would now be using its limited resources to pursue
litigation against a former employee.'"
MAPS wants a temporary restraining order on two separate copyright claims:
first, that Feyck can't use the DUL database, and second, that he can't run a too-similar website (now
down). The bone of contention is that Feyck claims he
bought back
the DUL from MAPS, and
MAPS disagrees.
Incidentally, the DUL is currently stopping CmdrTaco from directly emailing one of the Slash coders.
I own the DULL I am the faggot raper Baba bpoey baba booey.
[INSERT POLITICAL COMMENTARY]
Okay, I understood none of this summary, except MAPS is a corporation fighting Feyck over the DUL. But what is the DUL. And for that matter, what is MAPS- what do they do?
Your mom too.
I have been a strongly outspoken supporter of MAPS for many years.
When I was with Gordon Fecyk I nearly had a heart attack when Paul Vixie called in 1997 to warn us that we were about to be listed in the MAPS RBL for running unsecured mail servers. But I supported his actions even then. Indeed, his call was very helpful in speeding up the bureaucracy at pacbell.net and getting the unsecured mail servers closed to relaying even more quickly. I appreciated Paul's willingness to work with us on resolving our problems.
Dull?
The title seems to say it all.
The writeup sure doesn't say anything.
MAPS isn't supported/used enough for anyone to give a shit and utilize it. Blah. Next!
Gordon could ont have bought the Dul, as he was already off the maps project before he claimed he acquired it. Also, Maps Llc is a profit organization, their leader is salaried.
Hi.
I'm twenty five years old, and up until two weeks ago, I was a virgin. Too
many celibacy had worn my self-esteem down to the point where I was finally
willing to pay for sex. I'll spare you the details of the event, as this is
not what I am writing about.
After having completed the act, the prostitute whose services I had rented
immediately exclaimed that something had felt weird. With no particular
ceremony, she grabbed my now-flaccid member and subjected it to an intense
examination, while biting her thumbnail in consternation.
After a brief period, she informed me that my penis was deformed, in her
professional opinion. I had spent my entire life without ever seeing another
man urinate, so I was not aware that the output usually emits from the end
of the head, not the underside, where mine does.
I'd like to know if I should seek the advice of a doctor or plastic surgeon?
Is this the sort of thing that can, or even should be corrected? I've lived
with it for twenty five years, and it hasn't bothered me. Is there really
any reason to worry about this?
