RMS transcript on GPLv3, Novell/MS, Tivo and more

Posted by Hemos on from the years-of-adoption-and-version-battles-predicted dept.

H4x0r Jim Duggan writes "The 5th international GPLv3 conference was held in Tokyo last week. I've made and published a transcript of Stallman's talk where he described the latest on what GPLv3 will do about the MS/Novell deal, Treacherous Computing, patents, Tivo, and the other changes to the licence. While I was at it, I made a transcript of my talk from the next day where I tried to fill in some info that Richard didn't mention."

    You know things are bad when your LICENSE files need a patch update every Tuesday.

    Serious question - will there be a GPLv3 fork of the Linux kernel? I know that Torvalds is dead against the idea, but an independent fork could be created if enough kernel contributors would agree to dual-licence their code.

    I agree completely, except that I think he should be punished by using emacs on Windows.

    Apparently, he doesn't own a mattress in which to put his money. I guess he had to go for second best.
