Mandate that every UK resident pay to have a tracking device and microphone implanted in their body. Since you couldn't trust UK citizens to police themselves, outsource the monitoring of these surveillance devices to India.
If I understand your comment correctly the license (RPL) does in fact place restriction of the use of the code effectively being a form of EULA.
No, if the end-user makes no changes to the code then the end-user faces no restrictions. The restriction occurs only if the end-user modifies the code.
Is that really enforcable anywhere?
I don't see why not. It's a condition placed on the work by the copyright holder. Don't like it? Don't use it!
The GPL only comes into play when distributing, the RPL comes into play when you change the code. There is a big difference [...]
I guess you could look at like this: a 20-person company probably doesn't have the resources to make substantial changes to GPLed code offered by someone else. A 20,000-person company probably does. When the big company makes changes to the code and their 20,000 employees use it, they are effectively distributing it. It's just that the distribution is limited to inside the company. The RPL closes that hole.
The Reciprocal Public License (RPL) is similar to the GPL, but it requires source code to modifications to be released even if the modified software is not redistributed. This was meant to close a perceived loophole that gave large organizations an advantage over others; a large company may have the resources to hire its own programmers to modify GPLed code, and would get considerable value from the modified code by using it throughout the company, but wouldn't have to release the source so long as the modified code wasn't distributed outside the company.
I think that would have defeated the scheme of selling or renting appliances with modified GPLed code on them.
Do you believe the myth that "American Indians" were created by a Divine Being in the Americas? If not, aren't they also immigrants? Maybe they even committed genocide against a previous group of inhabitants.
The article doesn't say, and I'd hate to be "stuck" with a card that only does IPv4. Yeah, I know, hardly anyone uses IPv6 today, but the nations of China and Japan, as well as the US DoD, are starting to roll out IPv6 networks in a big way.
I don't suppose the phone can be configured to automatically login to a fee-based hotspot service like T-Mobile? Bringing up a browser on the phone and keying in the username and password each time would be a pain.
in fact, the races of human don't even fit the
biological definition of race! It's a social contstruct.
Do you agree or disagree that there are breeds of dog, and that certain physical and behavioral traits are associated with these breeds? Or would you argue that dog breeds are merely a human social construct? Or maybe dog breeds are merely a dog social construct?
It's also simple-minded math. If everyone who has above-average wealth got that way by accumulating wealth from others, then maybe you'd have a point. Your statement ignores that there are people who create wealth, and they need surplus wealth to start or expand their business.
The US has some fairly daunting nuclear non-proliferation export controls on software and hardware to nations such as China. Larry Ellison, a heavy contributor to the Democratic Party, might be encountering difficulty in obtaining the necessary export licenses, so maybe this is a workaround for those export controls.
Novell hasn't had a billion in cash and zero debt for awhile. Their purchases of Silverstream, SuSE, Ximian, and four years of losing money had taken their cash down to about $300 million and change, then they recently took on $600 million of debt in a PIPE deal.

It is cheap ($147) and supports the native NTBackup format.
Here's a weekend project on the subject.

For the username, wouldn't "WORKGROUP\achra" be more appropriate?
I'm thinking of buying one of those Michoacan ice cream pushcarts.

That had me confused for a bit...
You can run NDS (or eDirectory, or whatever they're calling it these days) and many other Novell products on Linux without any NetWare servers.
It appears the inhabitants of Tempel-1 are lawsuit-happy as well.
No, it's like making gasoline that can be used by more than one brand of car. Or paving a road that is compatible with more than one brand of tire.
When products from different vendors need to interoperate, as you find in a networked environment, standards are good.
If that's the case, I'm sure it will be every bit as successful as Visual J++.

Just revoke the licenses used for Ka-band police radar.
