Seminar On Details Of The GPL And Related Licenses

Posted by timothy on from the share-and-share-alike dept.

bkuhn writes "Given the recent confusion about LGPL on slashdot, and the concern it raised for those convincing corporate legal departments to adopt to Free Software, perhaps your readers might be interested in FSF's legal seminar on the GPL and related licenses. The first one is in Silicon Valley, and if it is successful, we hope to hold others in the next 8 months in New York City and Tokyo." Since the FSF and the GNU project have long created and fought for software that's shareable, Free, and Not UNIX, what's taught at these seminars will probably differ sharply from what you can hear at next Monday's SCO conference call on the "IBM lawsuit, UNIX Ownership and Copyrights."

    Compliments of the season.Grace,Peace and love to you.I hope my
    letter does not cause you too much embarrassment as I write to you
    in good faith.Please excuse my intrusion into your business life.

    My name is James Mulu,the elder son of Mr.Dennnis Mulu from the
    Republic of Zimbabwe.During the current war against the farmers in
    Zimbabwe from the supporters of President Robert Mugabe,in his
    effort to chase all the white farmers out of the country,he ordered
    all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members
    and his followers.My father,was one of the best and successful farmers
    in our country and formerly the Finance Minister of Robert Mugabe
    administration,but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the white
    farmers of their land.Because of this,his farm was invaded and burnt by
    government supporters.In the course of the attack, my father was killed,
    and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my father's farm.
    And our family house was utterly destroyed.My mother died too,out of
    heart attack.Before the death of my father,he drew my attention to the sum
    of US$22.MILLION,Which he deposited with a security company in Amsterdam
    during his tenure as the Finance Minister of Zimbabwe.
    Blah blah blah, give me money.

    I agree wholeheartedly. This statement is similar to his reasoning on not mirroring stories -- he conveniently ignores the real argument. I wonder -- is he just stupid and doesn't understand the complaints, or does he really think that these lame excuses are going to fool anybody?

    How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
