Open-Source Insurance

* * Beatles-Beatles writes to tell us that several insurance agencies have formed a partnership to offer open-source compliance insurance. From the article: " The insurance will cover up to $10 million in damages, including profit losses related to noncompliance with an open-source software license. The policy could, in some cases, cover the cost of repairing code that was found to infringe on open-source licenses such as the General Public License, which is used with the Linux operating system."

Dear Google

[tod_miller]

In case you find my website [george-harrison.info] a little too hard to find, I have linked my name on slashdot to include the word 'Beatles' which in effect makes this a spam link, designed specifically to place those words in the google page rank for my site.

It does this in the name of slashdot, since it is slashdots own pagerank that will be used to gauge how important my site is for those keywords.

But, like, please make my page come up on google near the top, because of my l33t circa 1995 web design sk1llz.

Thanks!

Guy from slashdot.

Dear cowboyneal

Do some work, tomorrow I want to see the link from name and the actual html split, even though this also affects the google algorithm, less so. Maybe then people won't start submitting stories like:

viagra cialis tamiflu writes "Microsoft have once again...."

etc. Also they are not random letters.

please type the word in this image: banged
