Does Using GPL Software Violate Sarbanes-Oxley?
Anonymous Coward writes "eWeek is reporting that The Software Freedom Law Center has published a white paper that dismisses recent publications from embedded systems seller Wasabi Systems. Wasabi recently released statements focusing on alleged GNU General Public License violations in relation to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The white paper, titled "Sarbanes-Oxley and the GPL: No Special Risk," essentially counsels users of the free software license that they have no need to worry."
Digg is slowly getting better, but it's not quite there yet. Their new comment and moderation system has really helped them, but it's at a level so far below Slashdot's that it almost of made them more pathetic. Until they have a good moderation and comment threading system and the article submitters start typing full sentences, they won't be my primary news source.
Why is it that when you believe something it's an opinion, but when I believe something it's a manifesto?
Bzzt. The IUPAC name for H2O is water, regardless of state.
And in Spanish, "arena" means sand.
But I believe the quote "Is water wet?" was speaking English, not IUPAC or any other scientific jargon. In English, water is liquid. See, e.g., Webster "Water[..] 1 a : the liquid that descends from the clouds as rain, forms streams, lakes, and seas, and is a major constituent of all living matter".

Using water to refer to all of the phases is valid in English, even if it isn't common.

I don't know about you, but I hear the term "frozen water" on a regular basis. "Water vapor", too. As far as I'm concerned, that's using water to refer to the solid and gaseous states.
