If you want to understand what he meant, walk up to your nearest co-worker of the female pursuasion, and ask her if she would like to try some macingnulux. Remember, with all such plays on words, it is best to let the syllables fall together.
If you still don't understand, pick up the nearest copy of MS Bookshelf (prefferably one which has pronunciation examples) and search for a similar word that starts with cunning and ends in alot of fun.
Well, now that Iv'e stolen another few hours worth of my employers time reading (the award-winning) slashdot, mabye I should actually get some work done.
are that the product does look somewhat copyrighted. If I read the site correctly.
So how is it that someone can go about taking what appears to be a proprietary, copyrighted product, re-release it verbatim, and call it GPL'd? (My big question.) I know I'd be a little pissed If I found one of my peices of software that I have not GPL'd that someone went and "released" to the public floating around...
Unless of course the fee paid for the product include reproduction rights, but I doubt it.
Or, (I say, admitting my ignorance of many US laws) is it just the fact that the data comes from the government that makes this information public domain? (freedom of info. act?)

You missed the (albeit very subtle) pun.

Was I the only one to nothice LinuxPPC with Macworld on the stands two weeks ago?

Way to go...
Well, now that Iv'e stolen another few hours worth of my employers time reading (the award-winning) slashdot, mabye I should actually get some work done.
Naaaahhh...
John.
Better make sure that they don't find out I've been infringing on their patents for about 3.5 years now...
After all, that's an awful lot of jpgs, wavs and mpgs downloaded.
Bwaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!
(Busting a gut)
John.
If they aren't really making much, that shouldn't be a problem then.
After all, what's the big deal if they "garnish" a huge percentage of nothing.
Hmmm, I wonder if they would also share in the "losses" then if he doesn't make enough to cover bandwith ocasionally...
Hrumph!
John.
If you (or someone you know) has a few ounces of talent, just airbrush your current case and bezel with some nifty-neato-keen original artwork.

Take a look at the left side and the right side of my case. These are ~150k jpgs and were taken right before I put it back on my machine.
And yes, my brother is taking orders for them.

...Does not hold a Copyright of any kind...
But doesn't this still prevent a third party (ie: Mr. Perens) from re-releasing the data under a more restrictive licence?
(The GPL being more restrictive than no licence at all.)
