Eben Moglen — GPLv3 Not About MS and Novell

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the having-to-restate-the-obvious dept.

Linux.com's Joe Barr was recently able to sit down with Professor Eben Moglen at the San Diego Red Hat Summit and discuss the GPLv3 and what it means beyond the Microsoft/Novell deal on video. "Professor Moglen explains briefly about GPLv3's work on globalization of the software license, preventing harm to others by members of the community, and the most contentious in earlier drafts, DRM."

    I am guessing the theory was that if they broke it up that more people would come back to read it. More pageviews = more ad revenue?

    God I hope not, the "news" with 5 pages of 2 paragraphs each is bad enough as it is. Now if the news sources think that spacing the article out over time will help, we can pretty much kiss the usefulness of the web goodbye.

    This pretty much guarantees I will not be reading anything from linux.com now.
