Ofcourse they don't. If they do succeed, then a crapload of their own software will be considered derivative from LGPL! Oh and I would love to see them defend their own hypocrisy...
+10000 I do so many searches like that in Google.... Sometimes I'm even to lazy to launch a calculator, so I use Google to do simple calculations. In addition, sock price updates don't require me to leave Google search page. They even update right in the results.
In addition, since Google introduced instant search, you can refine your query on the fly without clicking through before you find what you want.
I think you are underestimating what the US government tries to push. Concepts of IP are just a small part of the whole bundle... And it's not only US government, an incredible number of Americans feel that the world should adopt the American culture...
Apple vs Samsung battle is all over the world. Apple vs HTC is a bit more concentrated, but HTC's main business seems to be custom smartphones for the US market. Microsoft is shaking down Android manufacturers globally...
He is becoming paranoid troll. Really. Lately his articles are much less an overview, but rather a bashfest of some party in the patent lawsuit. He started inserting reviews of cases that are not about FOSS(Lodsys vs iOS devs) and not even about software in general.
His most objective articles are about Lodsys vs mobile app devs, BTW.
His stance in Oracle vs Google is obviously against Google, in the form "I think" and "I agree with". Or maybe he has an issue of writing a diplomatically impartial text.
On the technical side of software his knowledge is nowhere to be found by now. And unfortunately his only knowledge about IP law is in the US patent law and it's moderately good. His understanding of copyright law is lacking to say the least.
But when you start using that mailserver for business purposes, you are screwed! As people like you will be taking their business away from you, because your mailserver setup just hit a false positive on their email...
And that will be your undoing. As an admin you should feel like it, always. Because you are responsible for security. If you think small sites don't get hacked, then where are the spam relays coming from? A crapload of them are small MX'es hacked....
Really? Try working with clients who work with Chinese companies. Having that stack basically obliterates the ability to receive any mail from China in Chinese. I had months of arguing over emails that did not arrive, because the other server was not setup to do a retry(as postgrey asks for a 5 min "cooldown")
This is slashdot. We don't read comments...
As for Africa, it's not "nice" it's essential however... But don't worry, it's not only Americans. We Europeans, and all other industrialised nations, have our heads up our collective asses all the time.
Americans can't really get their heads out of their own asses, can they?
There is a continent called Africa, where wireless communications are the only viable option for communications. The industrialised world has had the copper lines laid in the second half of 20th century, not so in Africa and much of the rest of the landmass. Where even 56kbps is a huge deal...
Since WoW became the most expensive game on the market(still is) I dropped playing it. Currently buying a physical game costs about $84 on Amazon, online digital distribution version price is higher...
In US it's not a problem, in Europe it's more of an issue. But being part of Vivendi(French company), I think they'll be covered in legal department...
Nope. They also track any money that crosses the administrative border. And are interested in most money that comes into US, while might get suspicious of money that leaves US.

nVidia Kernel is right there on android.git.kernel.org
FYI: All the GPL code in Honeycomb is available. The ASL licensed code is not, however....
GPL is revokeable. However, is it is also automatically issued. By returning into compliance, you regain the license automatically...
The advertisers are. And they don't really care what website their ad pops up.

Google Wave?
AppInventor released as FOSS in 3...2...
Didn't Sony/Erricson just bet "everything" on Android?
Lets say, some Chinese company gets a patent that iPhone infringes... Imagine they are able to block all production of any iPhones in China....

It's not because they are accountable or not accountable, but the sheer amount of data they have just makes the individual data pieces useless....
Are you calling a comma-phile a heterosexual? (Oxford_Comma_Lover)
...you insensitive clod!
In addition they have perpetual license to all Java related patents and a license to call their Java, Java(TM)
Now how would trolling be any fun with "reading"?..
