If google print becomes a success, it will mean a huge loss in sale if the book is *not* in the index.
When you make a google print search, you get a box in the left for each hit, with suggestions where you can buy the book.
Sure, some people will not buy the book because they can get the small part they need from the scanned pages. But a lot more people will only know the boox exists because they find it with Google Print, and if the book is any good, some of them will buy it.
Books are not like music, most people will prefer the analog version over an online version where you can search your way to scanned extracts.
I expect very few publishers to "opt-out" of the index.
... doesn't mean they will actually pay for or use one. There are a lot of people asking for Linux ports for political reasons, even if they wouldn't use one.
I suspect this is especially the case for shareware, Linux doesn't have any shareware culture. Shrink-wrapped software is tolerated, free software is embraced, shareware is shunned.
Are you sure about the "No"? I know Firefox have some rather elaborate hacks in order to be able to render non-standard pages designed for MSIE. I'd expect Opera to do the same.

The real issue is whether the nothern passage is Canadian or International. US supports the later claim. Hans Island going to Canada would lend weight to the Canadian ownership of the Northern Passage.
Basically, the components are reusable on a source level, not really on a binary level. To make it effectively reusable on a binary level, you would have to fix the interfaces, which slow down development significantly.
> Is Firefox modular enough to break out valuable, reusable parts and implement something new out of them?
Eh, Firefox is build *from* valuable, reusable modules. The same modules that are used in Mozilla, Sunbird, Thunderbird, and a lot of other applications.
Firefox is very little in itself. Kind of like asking if the SUSE Linux distribution can be broken up in modular, reusable parts.
Ah, I missed that. I read it as "that particular research project". Information about how other research projects have been funded is obviously crossing the line.

It also put fewer restrictions on their competitors.
Which is best for the business depend on the situation. First a very brief explanation about a market economy. In a functioning market economy, nobody get filthy rich. It is actually quite fair. You can only earn more money by working harder or smarter than your competitors. The big win for you (and loss for everybody else) in a capitalist society is when you can break out of the pure market economy, and create a monopoly.
If you are in a position to get a monopoly (or something close), the BSDL is very much preferable. It allows you to shut out wannabe competitors with your own market and (presumably) technological lead.
On the other hand, if you are up against someone who are close to a monopoly situation, GPL is preferable. It encourages sharing of technology among all the challengers, and prevent the near-monopolist to take part of the sharing if they don't want to risk losing their lead.
Almost all the BSDL vs GPL discussions are missing the point, as they try to put both licenses in the same scale, without making it clear what the goals are. I prefer a different approach, and start with discussing the goals, and then which licenses best fulfil those goals.
In Denmark, the Queen appoint someone (in practice the next prime minister) after consulting with the party leaders to form a government, which must then be approved by the parliament. Sometimes the apointed person fail to form a government with a majority backing, and someone else is appointed instead. It works fine, and nobody have suggested to change that.
Of course, in 1920 it didn't work fine, when the king fired the social-democratic government and inserted a conservative government without approval by the parliament. The rules have been changes since then, though.
Are you really surprised that those people who actually live in the many countries where US historically have supported terrorists (IRA, the Nicaraguan contras, or the Afghan mujahedins (who 9/11 turned side against the people of the country who trained them), feel resentful?

Poorly written applications should not be able to crash the system, if the kernel is solid.
I suspect Carlsberg would have something to say about marketing a beer as "Vores Øl". They had a major marketing campaign under that name in Denmark.

The key phrase is "relating to your research". I don't see anything wrong in sking for full disclosure of how research is funded.
Just think of the "research" showing lower TCO for MS Windows than for Linux. Won't you want to know everything about how it was funded?

They don't feel bad about killing moslems, or as they call it, "making martyrs of" moslems, as they rationalize they buy them a ticked to paradise.
