If SCO wins, then their claim that IBM took their IP and placed it in Linux will be held as true. That means that the "SCO" code will not be under the GPL and that they can charge for its use.
I don't think that's going to happen, though, because their strongest claims have been made on *.com, not in a courtroom where it matters.
LED based Christmas lights take about 5% of the power of regular bulbs but are a lot more expensive. Given the amount of power that he's drawing, why not switch over?
Okay, fine. They're using GTk. That will make installing GIMP and other goodies a lot easier. However, I couldn't find which Gnome compliant window manager they're using. Is it just assumed that Sawfish is it nowadays?
All the guy would have to do is add
another 72pin SIMM socket and a little extra
wiring and you could plug the uClinux module
(uCsimm) into.
Actually, then you could probably gut the thing
(remove the controller) and it could either
serve MP3s through the network interface or
through its own audio.
>I say that unless you use HTTP authentication or another form of validation.. anything you put on a webpage is public-accessible, copyright be damned.
If this was true, then Bill Gates could look at the source code for GPL software on a web browser and paste it into Windows, bypassing the GPL. Public display of information does not give it free to the public, but that has little or nothing to do with the issue at hand. The real question is whether or not eBay or any other company has the right to limit access to their site to that which want. IANAL but I'm pretty sure that they do as long as it's stated clearly on their site in some kind of Terms and Usage statement.
